Reduce, reuse, recycle. Almost everyone knows that phrase, but not all kids understand what it means. If you need a fun way to teach your kids about recycling, try this project that transforms leftover candle stubs into a brand new candle. This makes a great Earth Day project, but can be used any time of the year.
What You Need:
- Candle stubs (they can be any colors, just be sure there's no glitter or pressed flowers, etc. in them)
- Hammer
- Metal can such as a pineapple or coffee can
- Large saucepan
- Wicks or kitchen twine (available at craft stores)
- Pencil
- Molds (like glass jars, little glass cups, old tea cups, tin cans, etc.)
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Dye and/or scents for candle making (optional)
