Easter Candle Making Project Ideas

April 21, 2011 by SandraW

Easter Eggs by Bartek AmbrozikI found an easy Easter egg candle making project that involves using the actual shell for the mold. Then you shoot a syringe full of wax into a small hole at the top of the shell. For the full project instructions, see Easter Egg Candle – Kid Art Project.

Decoupage Easter Candle

If you would like to try a decoupage Easter candle, CraftIdeas.info has a cute project involving tissue paper and chicks. You could use any sort of Easter picture that you wanted on it though

Easter Candle Holder

This candle holder is gorgeous and it’s probably my favorite project because it’s so colorful, fresh and festive. You use multicolored plastic eggs for this one and you can find the tutorial at CSI (Create Something Inspiring).

Book Review: Off to the Nursery

One of the best things about the return of warmer weather is getting to plant new flowers and starting the vegetable garden if you have one. Off to the Nursery by Alice Oehr is subtitled “a celebration of gardening, plants and seasons,” and it’s also a celebration of diversity (because gardening is for everyone) and caring for the earth.

The book starts with the work of getting the garden ready for spring, pulling out the old plants and spreading compost made from kitchen scraps. They grab tomatoes and peppers, learn about zucchini and eggplant and explore the tasty world of herbs.

They also look through the seeds, succulents, berries and fruit trees, flowers and aquatic plants, talking about the benefits of different plants and how fun they are to grow. Maybe you can relate to the family buying what seems like way too many plants?

The book was originally published in Australia, so some of the flowers mentioned might not be familiar to your or your kids, but that’s kind of fun, too. You can also use this as an opportunity to talk about which plants in the book can grow where you live and that just like animals, plants have preferred habitats, too.

Illustrations are colorful and the book combines a standard font and a hand written font to make it feel more like a journal about the garden. The illustrations include fun facts and growing tips such as always planting mint in a pot or germinating seeds on a wet paper towel before planting.

If you want to introduce kids to gardening or just talk about what kind of plants can be grown at home where you live (yes to tomatoes, probably no to the kumquat tree), this cute book is a great addition to your spring reading list.

About the book: 30 pages, hardcover. Published 2025 by Scribble US. Suggested retail price $18.95.
