Now that winter draws on, light up creative activities with the ancient craft of candle-making. Lynne Garner shows you how to get started on a pastime the children at your club could find satisfying and fun It would perhaps seem strange to those generations that relied on the humble candle as their source of light that we would turn our backs on a far more convenient source - the light bulb! However, the candle now has a special significance for many of us. For example, children expect candles to be placed upon birthday cakes to aid in the celebration of another year passing. Many of us light a candle to remember those who are no longer with us.
