Collage Candles Instructions: First of all, adult lights a candle and asks the children to describe the colours of the flame (heath & safety point - at a safe distance, and not in a draft or a confined space). Ask the children to produce a 2D collage of the candle and flame by ripping up the necessary colours from old magazines and gluing them into position on some card (you could use card from old cereal boxes). Lastly, cut around the candle shape and display. National
Curriculum 2.
Pumpkin (the pumpkin that celebrates All Saints!) Instructions: Spread out the newspaper, place the pumpkin on top and cut the top off. Hollow out the pumpkin (this could be done in small groups with an adult helper each if a large group of children). Cut a smile, two eyes and a cross on the 'forehead' to create a happy face. Put the night-light inside, and light the candle. The candle signifies the light of Christ (see the Pumpkin page!). Transfiguration

Candles a)
Night lights Instructions: Stick your thumb into the clay and squeeze the outside to make a thumb pot. Fit the night light into the space inside the pot so it fits snugly. Use the tool to mark decorations into the outside (don't forget to put your name on the base). When dry, paint the pot bright colours. b)
Rolled Wax Candles Instructions
(to be followed by children): 1)
Your teacher will give you a long
shape of wax. (Make sure it is warm). 3) Gently roll the wax around the wick, all the time lining up the bottom line. This is very important! 4) When you have rolled up your candle, you may need to push the bottom gently, so that it stands straight. 5) Place in a candle holder! (see picture) Safety Measures
