DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Mother's Day Candle Craft

All I want for mother's day is a homecooked meal (made by the kids) and a craft or two (also made by the kids).  I'm easy to please.  This mother's day candle craft can be put together as part of a dinner party thrown by the kids just for mom.  Pair it with the matching napkin rings for the perfect Mother's Day table setting.

Materials:

• toilet paper roll,
• printer,
• something to colour with,
• scissors,
• glue,
• paper .
    

Craft Instructions:

• Print out the craft template of choice.
• Colour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.  Younger kids may need help with this.
• Glue the large rectangular piece on first to cover the tube.
• Glue on the flowers to decorate either the candle or the doily.
• Glue on the flame to finish the candle.
• Place the candle on the doily (you may want to tape it on).
• If you are using the black and white template, print it on coloured construction paper as an alternative to colouring it in.
• Feel free to decorate further with sparkles, sparkle glue, sequins or anything else the kids can think of.

Templates:

• After printing, close the template window to return to the main page.
• If the template doesn’t fit on one page, adjust your printer margins:
  • In most browsers: Print → More settings → Margins → Minimum
  • Or use Page Setup / Printer Setup in your printer dialog
