BEESWAX WRAP

-

In this activity, we learnt how to make a beeswax wrap which will help us store food in a sustainable healthy natural way. The only precaution you have to take when preparing this material is closing the windows because as wax is exactly that, wax in pure state, it attracts other bees in the vicinity and they may hurt you!

 


This was an interesting activity as we learnt about a natural product which can help us reduce the use of plastic and we were working in international teams, which allowed us to communicate in English with our European mates.

We brought the materials we made home and we are using them with good results.

The other schools have brought with them new enriching ideas such as growing a school garden, which will...
