Pumpkin Tea Lights

These lights look fab on a dark Halloween evening! They can also be used all year round.

You will need:

~ A glass jar (baby food jar/jam jar)

~ Orange and yellow tissue paper

~ Glue

~ Tea lights

~ Black paper (optional)

Method:

1) Have the tissue paper cut into squares or allow the child to rip the tissue paper.

2) Glue the tissue paper onto the glass jar.

3) Place the tea lights in the jar. They create beautiful patterns when lit.

4) OPTIONAL: Cut a face or design from black paper and glue to the jar.

Suitable for children aged 3 1/2 years +

Allow children to use any colour tissue paper they want. They can use as many different colours as they like on one jar and it will still make a beautiful design.
