Today we are going to make a different kind of art. An art that requires the use of candle and flame. This requires close supervision of an adult. NEVER let your kid do this unsupervised.
Candle Polka Dots
First, I demo to my son how I lit a candle and let the wax drip on the art block.
Once I’m confident that he understands, I let him try.
He then paint the art block with various colours
Light a candle and let the wax drip on the colours.
Use a sponge and paint the whole art block with a darker color. We use black 
Once the paint dries, use a coin to scrape off the candles and you’ll get beautiful dots of colours!
A beautiful work of art 
Coming up – See how we use the same technique to create a Christmas themed art
