The Kids and I made beeswax candles to add to our advent spiral. I read around people were doing it with primary school classes. I thought it would be easy. Hmm I was tricked. It was really hard to get the kids to roll them tight and straight. While I love giving the kids creative freedom and not making them re-do, I just had to with the candles or they would not work. Mr I was giving the job of measuring the wicks.
We added our tin of bible verses to read each day. Note for future Tracey, reading them randomly out of order doesn't work they need the numbers left on. We used the verses from here Creating the tin, was a great lesson in patterns, we also covered glueing and cutting.
Day 2 or 3 I've no idea, we have 2 candles though. They kids picked the elephant to add to day. This was our new addition to the collection this year. Our gorgeous set is purchased from Honeybee toys.
I am loving the elephant silhouette in this photo.
I also bought a early reader bible to use. It is a full Bible but worded more simply. Mr I is loving learning how to look verses up.
