What are the regulations for burning a candle in a 2 year old preschool classroom?

Call the fire department.  I'm quite sure there are some strict regulations about burning candles in children occupied areas.  If nothing else, common sense would say you don't burn candles where kids can get to it.

We've always used olive oil for that purpose to make a softer candle.\n\nChemically, paraffin is molecularily large alkanes.  The length of the alkane determines its degree fluidity (more accurately, its melting point).  Mineral oil is a purified alkane product that is liquid at room temperature, so it would be most compatible chemically with paraffin and would easily soften it.\n\nMy concern with some of the things that could be added is that it is uncertain what happens to them in the flame.  What sort of toxic substance do they become when burned?

I am an early childhood student teacher (preschool-3rd grade). I have worked in preschools and I have to say that I think 4 years old is a great time to start children in preschool. It seems that parents want their children to start so early, at 1 1/2-2 years old so that their child has a jump start on learning. That is great, however, children are not developmentally ready then. By 4 years old, children are beginning to form their own identity and are ready to go to a school environment away from mom and dad. Even at 4-years, some children struggle but at that age, children are ready and eager to start preschool. Before the age of four, I think parents should enroll their children in play groups so they have the opportunity to interact with children.   I also suggest giving your child 2 years of preschool so that your child will be 6 or close to turning 6 years old.\n\nI am 22 years old and my parents waited till I was 4 to send me to preschool because I had a summer birthday. I think that was the wisest move they made. If I would have been sent to preschool at 3, I would have been one of the youngest in my class.

Since the active ingredient in a candle is parrafin wax you need to get some plain parrafin wax and then some of the other non active ingredients.\n\nOnce you have done this light the parrafin wax and tryt o light the others and then you can see that you can not light the non active ingredients and you can light the parrafin.\n\nSo it must be the parrafin that burns in a candle.

Best is to use a candle which can burn for at leat 24 hours. What the candle is made out of, does not really matter. \n\nThe yahrzeit candle is lit at sundown on the eve of the anniversary of the passing and the candle should remain alight for twenty-four hours. It is a beautiful custom to light a candle on the yahrzeit, as the flame of a candle is compared to a soul. Just as a flame is never still, so too does the soul continuously strive to "reach up" to G-d.

No, you are not breaking any laws by doing that. Just make sure that in your description you list the items that are in it...ex. Milkbone Dog Biskits.  As far as the candles...make sure that you package them properly and you won't be responsible if their house burns down (include all warnings).  The bad part about your own business is that even if you include a label saying your company can not be held liable for things...it won't hold up in court unless the person has signed a paper agreeing to it (which isn't likely to happen seeing as the basket would more than likely be for someone other than the person who bought it).  I suggest you contact a small business lawyer before opening your business to make sure you have done everything on your part that you can to protect your business.  Good Luck.

whenever I need ideas for preschool activities I go to a - z teacher stuff. \n\nThis particular thread is about circle time activities. Actual teachers post on this website so they will post ideas that have been successful in THEIR classrooms.\n\n\nhttp://forums.atozteacherstuff.com/showthread.php?threadid=18311

Well, a standard "candle" is a defined unit of measurement:\nCandle: An obsolete unit of luminous intensity, originally defined in terms of a wax candle with standard composition and equal to 1.02 candelas\n\nCandela:\nA unit of luminous intensity equal to 1/60 of the luminous intensity per square centimeter of a blackbody radiating at the temperature of solidification of platinum (2,046°K)\n\nSo your torch is about 1 million times brighter than a bit of really hot plantinum!\n\nPresumably, someone has worked out exactly how bright this is, and can also measure how bright your torch is and can work out how much brighter the torch is than the standard "candle"

Here are a couple of favorites from my preschool classroom.\n\nFill a basket or any kind of container with something fun like marbles, miniature cars etc.  Have your son roll a die (use two dice as he gets older) Have him count the spots on the die and then remove that many marbles, etc. from the basket.......continue taking turns until the basket is empty\n\nCut out circles, squares and triangles from construction paper.  Cut out a different number of each shape and hide them around the room then go on a shape hunt with your son.  Once you find all of them create a large graph by laying the like shapes together vertically or horizontally.  Count how many of each you have, talk about concepts such as most and least.\n\nHave your son lay down on a large piece of paper.  Trace his body and cut out.  Talk about the different body parts and label them.  Allow him to decorate his likeness with collage materials, markers, crayons etc.\n\nRead books every day.  A way to get kids excited about reading is to create a book catterpillar or train.  Make a new segment of the caterpillar or car for the train for each new book you read.  Write the name of the book on the segment and any comments your child has about the book then add it to existing bug or train and watch it wrap around the room.  \n\nThe main thing is to be in  tune with what your child likes and gear the learning towards that.  If he likes cars count toy cars, sit on a corner and count blue cars and red cars and graph, paint with cars etc.  Don't try to push anything or teach him above his years because that's the surest way to turn him off about learning.  Good luck and have fun.

Chemical reactions are fun how about a baking soda volcano?\nor you can make an experiment showing air pressure and oxygen use, use a big clear jar( mayo peanut butter) a pie plate a bit of modeling clay a candle and some colored water and some pennies.\nplace the clay  in the center of the pie plate\nplace the pennies 2 or 3 high( you may wish to tape them, make 3 or 4 sets set them around the clay so they will support the jar up from the bottom of the pie plate\nplace a birthday candle into the clay  fill the pie plate with enough colored water to cover the edge of the jar and a little more when it is upside down on the pennies\nnow remove the jar, light the candle and replace the jar over it.\nThe candle will go out. this shows that fire needs oxygen and uses the oxygen in the jar.\nIf your jar is not too big you will see the water rise up into the jar. The gas in the jar has changed, it does not have the same pressure it did before the oxygen was removed. The pressure from the outside air makes the water rise. This demonstrates air pressure. Have the teacher light the candle. try it at home a few times you may have to change jar or glass size to get a good effect.\nI do not recommend the electric pickle experiment.

Suggest to the person who is holding the party to have a few jars of coffee beans sitting around.  In between smelling the candles, smell the coffee beans.\n\n(I don't know why that works, but for some reason it actually does.)

I'd prefer the white barn candle company. If you are looking for a candle-making program, check out your community centres.

This is pretty straightforward to figure out.\n\nFirst figure out how many candles.  Each one is 400g from a 20kg block.\n\nYou would divide:\n20kg / 400g\n\nFirst convert to the same units:\n20000g / 400g\n\nSo you can create 50 candles from a 20kg block.\n\nSelling them at £4 each that's a gross income of £200.\nSubtract your original investment of £40 for a profit of £160\n\nSelling them at £5 each, that's a gross income of £250.\nSubtract your original investment of £40 for a profit of £210\n\n(Note: this all assumes that you have no other costs, but in real life you have your labor, equipment, waste and defective product, electricity, marketing & sales, returns, etc.  So if this is a real life question, your net profit will actually be much less.)\n\nPutting that all aside for now, the answer to this question would be that you can make around 50 candles and a profit between £160 and £210.

Get a bottle cap. Put candle wax in it. Burn the bottom of the cap until wax melts. Wax will start to set on fire after while.\n\nPut a drop of water on it.\n\nBurn yourself.

A lot of schools will not let a child start until they are 5 or 6.\nBut if there is a school that has children that young learning, I would suggest sitting in on a class or two with your child and see if you are both comfortable with it.
