Get ready to mix, pour, and create something amazing! In this hands-on Kids Candle Making program, young crafters will learn the basics of candle making from start to finish in a safe, guided, and age-appropriate way. We’ll explore how candles are made, then walk step-by-step through melting the wax, adding color and fragrance, pouring the candle, and learning what makes a candle turn out just right.
To celebrate the sights and smells of spring, each child will design their own custom candle and choose from two deliciously fun fragrances: Blueberry Jam, bursting with juicy berries and a hint of sweetness, or Sicilian Sea Breeze, a fresh and breezy scent inspired by sunny citrus gardens along the Italian coast.
Candles will be poured into beautiful blue containers, and best of all - kids get to take home the candle they made themselves! This creative experience builds confidence, introduces basic kitchen and craft skills, and lets kids express their creativity while making something they’ll be proud of.
