A candle is like a little tower made of wax. It's usually shaped like a cylinder, kind of like a small, thick pencil but round all around. Candles come in lots of colors. You can find red ones, blue ones, yellow ones, and even sparkly ones with glitter in them.

On top of the candle, there's a thin string called a wick. It sticks up a little bit. When you light the wick with a match or a lighter, the top part of the candle starts to melt. The melted wax goes up the wick and keeps the flame going.

Candles give off light when they're burning. It's a soft, warm light, not as bright as a light bulb, but it's really pretty. People use candles to make a room look nice and cozy, especially at night or during a special dinner.

Sometimes, when it's your birthday, there might be candles on your cake. Each candle represents one year of your life. You can make a wish and then blow out the candles. It's a fun tradition!

But remember, candles can be hot and the flame can be dangerous. Always ask a grown-up to light or blow out candles for you. And never touch the flame or the hot wax.

Candles have been around for a very long time. Before we had electric lights, people used candles to see in the dark. Isn't it amazing how something so simple can be so useful and beautiful? Let's learn how to draw a candle in today's drawing tutorial and try it out!
