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.

Children will need a toilet paper roll, a printer, something to colour with, scissors, glue, and paper (I prefer construction paper). 
  
bulletPrint out the template of choice. 
  
bulletColour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces.  Younger kids may need help with this.

bulletGlue on the flame to finish the candle.
  
bulletPlace the candle on the doily (you may want to tape it on).
  
bulletIf you are using the black and white template, print it on coloured construction paper as an alternative to colouring it in.
 
bulletFeel free to decorate further with sparkles, sparkle glue, sequins or anything else the kids can think of.
