For the past four years, I've made an epiphany tart for Sherlock Holmes's birthday (6 Jan). This year, in the interest of economy, the tart was one flavor: strawberry.
And for Christmas, I got Minor a beeswax candle making kit, thinking it was something we could do together. Yesterday, we made a candle. It wasn't actually as interesting as I'd hoped when I ordered the kit, but, still, it smelled interesting and I made Minor read the booklet about the importance of bees.

There is a black sheet and a green and a blue one. Minor cut the yellow spots from one sheet and stuck them to the rolled black one. To make it look a bit more beeish.
