Children's candle courses during the summer holidays: Colorful candle magic for children's birthdays, holiday programs, and creative days off. At the Lichtermacherei, children aged 8 and up create their own candles, rainbow candles, and wax elf catchers – with glitter, imagination, and loving guidance.
Colorful candle magic for children's birthdays, holiday programs & creative holidays
A real hit with children: our colorful children's candle courses at the Lichtermacherei candle workshop.
Whether as a special children's birthday party, a holiday program during the summer holidays, or a creative break for little artists — here, children can immerse themselves in a colorful candle wonderland full of wax, glitter, imagination, and their own ideas.
Come along to the colorful candle wonderland
The candle elf invites you to many colorful candle crafts.
Here, every child can design its very own candle creation. It can be kneaded, shaped, decorated, and colored — of course with loving guidance and support from the candle elves.
The soft, warm wax can be wonderfully shaped. Children can experience with their hands how colors, shapes, and little details come together to create a very personal light creation.
And yes: glitter is, of course, also not allowed to be missing.
What children can create here
In our children's candle courses, depending on the offer and age, very different little wax artworks are created.
Particularly popular are:
Kneading candles
Coloring candles
Decorating candles
Designing rainbow candles
Shaping wax elf catchers
Creating little fantasy light creations
Decorating colorful candles with glitter
Every child can be creative and bring in their own idea. It's not about perfection, but about joy, trying things out, and the wonderful feeling: "I made this myself."
Why children love candle courses so much
Children love working with their hands. Wax is soft, warm, malleable, and full of possibilities. It appeals to the senses and invites them to create.
During candle making, children experience:
Colors and shapes
Warmth and the feel of the material
Imagination and their own design
Pride in the finished piece
Creative work in a small group
A beautiful keepsake to take home
Especially during the summer holidays, this is a wonderful way to keep children meaningfully, creatively, and joyfully occupied.
Holiday program during the summer holidays
Our children's candle courses are also a special highlight for holiday programs every year.
Children can get creative here, try new things, and take their own little light creations home. The courses are child-friendly and designed so that every child can participate well.
Whether kneading candles, coloring candles, or decorating candles — every holiday program gets its own colorful magic.
