Creative Arts: Beeswax Sculptures

We passed out pieces of beeswax for each child to hold and begin to warm, shape, and change, while we told a verse about the special little creatures, who worked together to create the wax we were playing with. The wax was stiff and hard to mold. We primarily wanted to introduce and expose them to the wax as a medium, and perhaps make spheres with it. At the end of the verse, we showed them a beautiful bee we had sculpted out of a golden yellow wax, that was the creature that had been described.
