Last Spring, we went to the May Faire at our local Waldorf school. It's so much fun each year but this year was especially awesome because ez really enjoyed making a hand-dipped beeswax candle. We circled around a table alternating between wax and cold water dipping a string between each tub of liquid. On our recent trip to Williamsburg, she got to dip some candles just to color them.
We are looking at the dye color options.
My mom likes a certain candle company store, or should i say 'experience'? the place is huge with a changing sky and snowfall within one part of the compound that houses christmas decor. There is a coupon book full of crazy tourist trap stuff. Well, dipping candles is free with a coupon! Totally free. We were even encouraged (by an employee!) to tear out more coupons from the books at the front door if we wanted to do a couple of candles. Fabulous.
while listening to the instructions, we were very focused.
the first dip. don't you love the guy's face in the background, too? i thought about cutting it out but it really captures delight at watching a focused child learn and create. we could all use a little more joy like that.
the person behind the counter was so patient, kind and considerate with ez. it made me very grateful.
she chose her favorite color, purple! my mom looks on proudly. she was sooooo glad to share the whole weekend with us.
