Each year, I include some kind of candle making in our curriculum. Last year, we rolled candles from beeswax. In years past, we've organized a carefully choreographed "Candle Dip" where campers take turns dipping wicking into crockpots filled with melted wax.
I saw this tutuorial for a variation on our classic candle dip, and am eager to give it a whirl. Instead of dipping candle wicks, a water balloon is filled with cool water and dippped into the wax several times until a thick shell forms, which then serves as a votive holder for a tea light candle.
