Pioneer Days

The girls have been studying Pioneer Days in history and the different occupations.  We did a candle making craft and they loved it.  They probably don't have the patience to make it an occupation though :)
it took several dips into the wax to get this thickness

we tried to blow to make it go faster....

My 4yr and 6yr old loved it
our proud candle making
time to burn. we couldn't wait for the sun to go down and get the house dark!
since they were not straight, we had to place them on a plate to burn.

To make a safe and enjoyable candle-making time, try the following:
1. melt wax in a container that you can toss when you are done(not worth cleaning)
2. lay plastic on table to prevent dripping
3. Let wax cool a bit so it thickens faster
4. Go an evening without electricity and just light your candles...go Pioneer!
*make sure kids know not to light candles or play with matches without an adult
