As a kid, hand-dipped candles can be painstakingly slow to create, and using molds can be really fiddly! However, if you want to make candles with your kids, it can be fun to recycle containers for candles. Metal containers like soda cans are easy to find, but non-toxic plastic can create a creative, wonky shape. You can leave the candle in the container if it's metal or glass, but if it's a plastic container, consider using scissors to cut the candle free. As a bonus, you can use different types of containers as an opportunity to discuss scientific principles, like heat conductance!
