 Soothing Fun May 22, 2010

These strips of moldable beeswax are so much fun! At first, it is a cold, very firm substance. Break off a piece, and hide it in the palm of your hand, and you will feel it soften. You may need to teach young children how to get the hang of it or warm it up for them until they have the patience. You could always put some into a baggie, and place the baggie in a bowl of hot water to soften it quickly just to get everyone started. I find it soothing to soften each piece as it's needed with my hands. The wax feels so soft and smooth and there is the faint scent of beeswax. It's really a lovely experience. As you build little creations, the wax will harden again, and you can save it as long as you like or take it all apart. If you want to make it easier to warm up again next time, flatten the wax a bit or leave it in smaller pieces. If you leave it in a big ball (which we do) it will take longer to warm the whole ball in your hands. This is a good activity for children to do during story time. It keeps hands busy and allows them to listen.
Boundless Creativity possible October 26, 2009

This modeling beeswax allows hours of creativity. We love the colors, smell and texture. With warmth and a bit of patience, tablets metamorphose into crabs, elephants, mice, pumpkins, anything really.....Perfect for my 6 year old.

This is a nice, natural product that smells a bit like honey and is not messy to use at all. It is reusable. My 6 year old and I melt a bit of it in our hands and then you can work it into whatever shape your talent and imagination can muster. It is also good for anxious kids who need a distraction. Sometimes it is a relaxing activity to do while reading at bedtime. Not for huge projects-the pieces are relatively small.
 too hard for little ones January 11, 2009

I bought this for Christmas for my grandchildren. I thought they would enjoy this as they are always playing with play-doh, but I had more fun with the beeswax than they did. It takes a long time to soften it enough to be able to work with. Maybe in the middle of the summer when it is 90 degrees out it would work for them, but as for now it is too hard and is not much fun for my 3 and 6 year old grandchildren. I do not recommend it for little ones.
the smell of my childhood January 2, 2009
Kirsten Oliphant (Kansas City)
Having gone to a Waldorf School from pre-K to 3rd grade, I had much spent much time with modeling beeswax, and ordered some for my son for christmas. Kept a little ball of it for my desk at work, and not only is a great stress reliever, it's the smell of my childhood.
