The change in the season - from summer to autumn - seems to have motivated me to do a whole lot of nothing this year. I just want to sit inside and do all the cozy things. Read under a pile of blankets, bake all the pumpkins, and light all the candles. Beeswax is really calling me lately, as weird as that sounds! There's just something about the smell of beeswax and the warmth of the light. So, give me all the beeswax things!
Thankfully, I don't seem to be the only that feels that way, because there are some really great ideas on how to incorporate beeswax into your autumn projects. Here are a few that have been inspiring me.

Montessori Inspired Art with Beeswax
Beeswax can also so easily be incorporated into your children's art projects! I love these beeswax candle making kit; some of these colors are just perfect for autumn. We've used these kits for other projects and have loved them. There's also modeling with beeswax. Or coloring with beeswax crayons. While more expensive, beeswax crayons are so much smoother, brighter, and smell amazing than cheaper crayons (and have lasted for years and years.)
Beeswax is just such a great way to bring beauty and natural materials into your Montessori home. I can't wait to feel the warm glow again as the weather continues to cool and throughout the cold, long winter.
Do you love beeswax? Have you done any projects with it this autumn?
