A story to share together
Get comfortable. Make a guess together. See where the story takes you.
Everyone gets a guess. You don’t need to know the answer before you begin.
After the story: things to talk about
- Blow out a candle together and watch the smoke — then ask: what do you think that smoke is actually made of?
- Tell them the flame never really touches the wick — it floats just above it. So what's burning down there?
- Have a grown-up try the real relight-from-the-smoke trick once, then ask the kid to explain why it only worked when you were quick.
