Answer
Hello!

Thanks for the question. I have made various different types of candles before I have tried many different kinds.

I would suggest that if you are making candles with kids you buy a kit. There are amazing kits at Walmart for under $13.00. My personal favorite is kids called "candle making for fun & profit". I find its the easiest to work with and to follow instructions. Kids around the age of 11+ can even make it themselves.

If you do want to try making candles with out a kit, here is the website that I used and found it to be one of the best ones.
