Make wax chunk candles and learn about how Jesus is the Light of the World.
We made these candles for a Matthew 2:1-18 Magi/Wise Men lesson. But in the lesson we talked about our memory verse from Isaiah (about Jesus being the light of the world). So this lesson plan could be easily adapted for an Isaiah foretells the Messiah rotation. See the full lesson plan here, including safety suggestions for candle-making with children.
Memory verse: “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.” --Isaiah 9:2
The kids loved this project. Even the 5th and 6th grade boys couldn't wait to get home to light their candles!
