The birthday ring is a wonderful ritural to begin with your child!
Traditionally, on your child's first birthday, you place one candle on the ring and fill the rest of the holes with figures. On each consecutive birthday, you replace one figure with a candle. Place the unused figures in the center of the ring to signify the child's previous years. Finally, on the twelfth or sixteenth year (depending on the ring you choose), the ring will be fully illuminated. This is truly something your child will look forward to each year!
You may choose to create your own variations on this tradition, perhaps placing figures that represent events your child experienced during the year since the last birthday or using just one number decoration to represent the child's age along with the cooresponding number of candles. The birthday ring can also be used as a deoration throughout the year. It is a beautiful additon to a nature table when the decorations are changed with the seasonally.
This ring is made of alder wood and features 12 holes. The four pieces that make up the ring are colored in shades of blue and turquoise.
Figures, candles and candleholders sold separately.
