“Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God’s gift of Himself.” – St. Teresa of Calcutta
Children can partake in the beautiful traditional act of “lighting a candle” during their prayer time with our beautiful wooden prayer candles. The light of the candle is a symbol of our prayer, offered to God in faith.
This simple and beautiful act, invites children to pause and direct their attention towards the Lord. Like adults, the physical act of lighting a candle reminds them that their prayers are real and are heard by God. Our Montessori-inspired candles allow for hands on interaction, cultivate imagination and require no dangerous electricity or batteries.
Children love “lighting” the solid wood toy candle with the included wooden flame disc- then taking it out and doing it again! Whether on a bedside table, shelf, or family altar- these candles are a beautiful call to prayer for children of all ages.
Each candle is printed with beautiful religious artwork on the front, and a corresponding traditional Catholic prayer on the back. Candle without flame disc measures 6 inches tall.
Guardian Angel
God lovingly gives us each a heavenly companion for our journeys here on Earth, a guardian angel to be with us always. Our Angel is holding a cross and rosary, reminders of Jesus and His Blessed Mother.
A favorite of European toy manufacturers, our new wood sets are crafted using highly sustainable solid rubberwood from Forest Stewardship Council certified sources, and non-toxic water based paint.
Rubberwood is a highly sustainable and beautiful hardwood. Trees that have finished producing latex on rubber tree farms are cut down to make room for new trees to be planted. Instead of wasting this beautiful wood, it is used to create a variety of home goods and toys! We've very intentionally selected rubberwood for this reason, to avoid deforestation and ensure our wooden toys are truly environmentally friendly.
I have purchased 5 candles in the past year and I’m not done! They are so well made and great for littles as young as 2.
My grandchildren love “lighting” the candle and praying the prayer at bedtime.
I also love that the prayer is printed on one side of the candle.
This is absolutely one of my favorite gifts to give for a birthday, Christmas and Baptism.
I think the next one I buy will be for my prayer table!
My daughter is 2.5 and loved being able to "light" the candle and blow it out while her sister works on reading the prayer! 10/10. Plus they're wooden and sturdy!
I bought this for my Granddaughter, she is 3, it is so pretty! I feel it is well made and I am pleased with it that I ordered another one for my other Granddaughter🩷🩷
This candle is really well made and exactly as I hoped. It is a unique reminder that we al have a guardian Angel looking out for us and a tangible way to connect with her. It is a perfect gift for my daughters First Communion!
We love this candle! We "light" it every night before bed and say our prayers. It's not only beautiful and a great faith tool with our toddler,but it also helps set the tone to wind down for our bed time routine. LOVE!!
