You could use black construction paper and Cray-Pas for this lesson, or experiment with crayons, colored pencils, or paint... and try using different colors of paper and textures!

Steps 1-4

Step #1

 

Step #2

 

Step # 1

Take the lighter blue cray-pas.
Have your paper the sideways way...
Draw straight, up and down lines in sets.
Make sure that you keep the lines in the
middle area of the paper because you need
to leave room for the candlestick holders and flames. Draw 6 lines in all.

Step # 2

Still using the light blue,
draw a slightly curved down connecting
line between the 2 candle sides.
Do this for all 3 candles

Step #3
Step #4
Step # 3

Go back to the line on the right side of each
candle and make it a bit higher than the
other side of the candle.
(We need to plan ahead in order to show melted wax dripping...)
Step # 4

Take the white and draw directly over the blue line on the left of each candle, plus, draw a white line over the... oops!!!
I forgot to have you use light blue to downward connect the top tips of the candle sides! ... sorry!
Please do that now, then go over it with white.

(Mimi needs a cup of coffee 
right about now!)
