Kid-Safe Luminarias


Luminarias are a lovely holiday decoration that is common here in the desert where we live. The traditional version uses a candle, but obviously we want to discourage the use of fire with small children. This version is fun and easy for kids, and can be used as a decoration or just a fun night light.

Here's what you need:
White paper bag (lunch bag size)
Crayons
Battery-operated candle (I used tea light size)

Here's what you do:
1. Decorate the paper bag with the crayons. The more colors you use, the more vibrant your nighttime luminaria will be.


2. Place the battery-operated candle inside the bag.


3. Wait until bedtime and enjoy!!!
