On the note of art, I thought I'd offer you guys another art
activity to try! I will admit, this is not an activity I've tried with the kids
as it's trickier to modify with a large group of kids but it's too cool not to
share.
I've included a picture from a link I found on Pinterest,
but this is a popular project that you could find all over the internet. So
what you would do is use either white glue or hot glue to stick the crayons
side by side across the length of any size canvas. Let them dry. Then, as
pictured, you could cut out any shape from contact paper or cardboard and stick
it to the canvas to leave a print or you could leave the canvas as is. Next,
you should place your canvas upright over a tray, cardboard platform or outside
(anywhere, as long as you don't mind the potential of crayon wax spilling onto
it) and use a hairdryer to slowly and gently melt the crayon wax. I would recommend pointing it towards the crayons in a downward motion, which will
prevent it from potentially splattering. Continue to melt the wax until you
reach your desired look. If you used a cut out, peel that off and let
everything dry!
If you happen to try it at home, come let me know how it
turned out!
Enjoy,
