I decided to head back over and revisit Unplugged Mom @ Unplug Your Kids and see what her theme was for the week -- we really enjoyed these when we were doing them regularly, so hopefully we can continue on.

This week the theme is: purple

We tried our hand at homemade candles....they were supper easy and super fun -- a little messy!

We shared the adventure with friends, also fellow homeschool blogger.......I think they enjoyed it as well.

You will need glass wax, wicks, color & scent, oh yes, your glass jars too!

Here we are cutting the glass wax so it can be put into a pot

Taylor is trying her hand at cutting the wax & Jayda is looking on

  We took pencils and wrapped the tall wicks around it to hold the wick in place

The color above and the scent below, after chopping ( kids chose Ocean Mist )

The wax, the color and scent are melting in the pot. We needed to wait til the temp went down to at least 175 before pouring it into the jars.

Aren't they lovely?!

They came out so well, we were all very pleased.

And purple popcorn balls for the littles.......
