Paper & Wax Crafts
Stockmar Modeling Beeswax
We have chosen Stockmar's modeling beeswax for its transparent, color enhancing nature, marvelous beeswax aroma and therapeutic qualities. By kneading rhythmically children develop their fine motor skills. Shaping this sculpturing material also promotes imagination and a feeling for form. Ideas for modeling subjects can come from hearing a story while children hold and knead the wax in their toasty hands. Germany.
