This was the best activity we did during Kindergarten Week. My five-year-old daughter loved this project in part because she could do it all on her own! I showed my kids how to roll one, then they rolled the other five. We liked it so much, this project will certainly be added the next time we do Kindergarten Week. Kindergarten Week is a week I set aside from our normal homeschool schedule to focus on kindergarten crafts and activities. My 5th grader participated as well, and occasionally my 9th grader did too!

We rolled these beeswax candles from A Child’s Dream
These candles are best rolled on a warm day. If the wax is too cold, it may crack as you roll it. To warm up wax, you can use a hairdryer or place it a slightly warm oven (150 degrees or less) for about 30 seconds or less. This wax melts very fast, so don’t step away!

Once you roll them, trim the wick to about 1/4″. They burn fast because they aren’t dense, so never leave burning candles unattended.
