Making Christingles


Guest

Recommended Posts

I want to give our children Christingles this year. They won't be making them themselves. Because some are still under 3 I have reservations about using real candles, and just wondered if ayone had come up with an alternative. I thought about candy sticks that look like cigarettes but that's a mixed message. Any ideas, or do you thuink I should go with the candles? Obviously they won't be lit & children would only have them if their parent/carer was ready to collect them.

If they aren't going to light them then I don't see why using real candles would be a problem, presumably it's not like you have matches lying around the setting so they could 'accidently' light them themselves! The point of cristingles is that they have a light (the candle) and that it represents how Jesus was the light of the world, making them with candy sticks seems a little bit pointless really. Those glow candles would be the only sensible alternative I can see to an actual candle if you really don't want to use real ones.

I thought not lighting them made it not an issue, but concerns have been raised :o

 

Thanks for your suggestions; I like the glowsticks idea & may go with that!
