You'll need:

• candle • matches or a lighter

What to do:

1. Light a candle in a darkened room, placing the candle in a spot where your child cannot reached it.
2. Sing this with your child (Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"):

   Eight little candles in a row,
   Waiting to join the holiday glow.
   We will light them one by one

   Filling the world with holiday light.
