About the Candle

A candle is a wick set in wax that gives off a small, steady flame when it is lit. Before electric lights, candles were one of the main ways people lit their homes after dark. On a birthday cake they take on a happier job, one flame for each year, ready to be blown out with a wish. Print this candle shape for a birthday craft table and let kids draw their own flame on top.

People have used candles for light for more than two thousand years.
A candle can also mark time, burning down at a steady, predictable rate.
