Birthday candles

Cut out a candle for each year and stick them on a paper cake — a fun way for little ones to show how old they are and practise counting. Add some balloons and gift bows to complete the party scene.

Holiday and festival candles

• Make candles for a Christmas or Advent display, alongside bells and other festive shapes
• Create a row of candles for Hanukkah or other festivals of light
• Cut them from gold, silver or white card with a bright orange flame for an elegant decoration
• Use them on holiday cards and bulletin boards

Learning idea

Print candles in a few different lengths and let children put them in order from tallest to shortest — a simple, hands-on way to compare sizes while they craft.
