Jar lanterns
- ages 3–9
- 30 min
Children craft lanterns out of glass jars to light up during Earth Hour.
Steps
- Children paste colorful tissue paper pieces onto clean jars using diluted glue.
- Once dry, we place an LED tea light inside.
- We switch off the lights to admire the glowing colorful patterns.
- We discuss why switching off electricity for one hour matters.
Tip: Strictly use battery LED tea lights, never real flame candles in paper crafts.
Materials needed
- LED tea lights (1 per child)
- Smooth tissue paper (1 set)
