The Kwanzaa candle surprise is made with pretend candles in red,
green, and black that are filled with little secrets. They make a great holiday craft project for kids and grownups.
Adult Help Needed
 Kwanzaa Candle Surprise Kwanzaa Craft |
What You'll Need:
Paper towel tubes (1 tube will make 2 candles)
Scissors
Craft glue
Black, red, and green construction paper, orange or yellow tissue paper
Ruler
Individually wrapped candy
Nuts in the shell
Small prizes
Cut each tube in half (ask an adult for help with the cutting.) Then glue a piece of black, green, or red construction paper to each tube.
Cut a 10-inch square of tissue paper, and place candy, nuts, and a small prize in the middle of the square. Gather the tissue paper up around the prize, and push the wrapped candy and prize into the tube so the ends of the tissue stick out like a candle flame.
For party favors, make one for each person at your table. You could also write each person's name on a candle and use them for name cards for dinner.
Tie-dyeing is a traditional African craft. The next project teaches you how to make unique napkins using this method.
