Candles of course look the most beautiful in a pumpkin lantern, there is no question about it. But for little monsters with an inquisitive nature and who may be also fond of flames we buy LED lights, the safe alternative! Then it is no problem if you forget to blow the candle out, what has happend sometimes at our house,
At Albert Heijn supermarket or Blokker
4 LED lights for 0.99 euro cent.
If you do prefer to use tea light candles:
Make sure that the children can not reach the candles and stay close and alert as long as they burn.
Never place the cap on the pumpkin with a candle burning inside, the cap chars because of the heat of the flame.
