Making Candle Globes With Balloons

I found a video that shows you step by step how to create a beautiful candle globe. All you need is some melted wax and a balloon.

You then fill the balloon with water and dip into the heated wax several times until you get the thickness you desire. It can then be used as either a votive holder or filled completely with wax for a solid candle.

There are all sorts of things you could do to jazz it up and there are examples at the end of the video. Embedding a picture into the candle globe during the last dip would be nice and so would some dried flowers leaves or herbs. See You Can Make Amazing Candle Globes for more.

It’s the time of year when I write this that no one really wants to be outside where I live because it is just too hot. But we still want to make things fun while we’re stuck inside all day.

Escape rooms at home are a great way to give kids a little fun challenge, and they’re great for small groups of kids to work on together, just for a fun afternoon activity or to build a birthday party or other special event around.

The best kinds of escape rooms are the ones that are totally done for you, like this zoo themed one from In the Playroom.

It opens with kids visiting the safari zoo, and somehow they are locked in the zoo and have to figure out how to get out before the zookeepers come back.

This set of printables has absolutely everything you need to complete the game, including details kids will love like a zoo admission ticket and certificate of completion for when they figure out the code to get out of the zoo.

In between they’ll solve puzzles with secret codes, go through a maze and match animals to letters to crack another code to finish the puzzle.

All of the pieces are really cute and I think this will engage kids of a variety of ages. Little kids might need a little help with the puzzles, but it should be fun for grown ups to play along, too. And if you or your kids are having trouble with any of the clues, the PDF also includes the solutions so you can help them crack the case without having to think too much about it.

This free download is available to subscribers, so head on over to In the Playroom to sign up and download this great zoo escape room to play with your kids today.
