Make a 'Candle' for Winter Solstice
| Make a Candle with "Flame" for the Winter Solstice |
|  |  Read Night and the Candlemaker
by Wolfgang Somary. December 21
is the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, so make a candle to light your night.
Make a Candle with a empty paper towel or toilet paper roll, white paper, cotton balls, and a toothpick. You will also need scissors and glue.
-
Cover the paper towel or toilet paper
roll with white paper, and attach it with
glue. This will be your candle.
-
Stick a toothpick through the middle
of a cotton ball so some of it is sticking out of the cotton ball. (The toothpick will be your candle's wick.)
-
Print this page.
Cut out the flames (or draw and color
your own flames.) Glue them, back-
to-back onto the end of the toothpick.
 
-
Put glue around the inside top edge
of the candle. Gently stuff the cotton
ball into the top of the "candle" so the flame is outside the tube.
-
Tear another cotton ball into bits. To
make them "wax" dripping down the
side of your candle, glue them onto
your candle.
-
If you want to decorate your candle
with holly, cut out the pictures below.
Glue them to the base of your
candle.
 
-
Now put your candle someplace
special, such as on your window sill
or on your family's dining table.
