  • Share
  • Twitter
Crayons aren’t  just for coloring!  
This is a fun activity where kids can create projects from meted crayon shavings.   Try it and and see what cool projects you can create!

 

Materials: Old crayons, wax paper, iron, scissor, optional crayon sharpener

 

Step 1: Decide on how many different colors you would like to use. Peel all of the outside paper off the crayon.

Step 2: Over wax paper using child safe scissors scrape the sides of the crayons to get shavings.  If you have a crayon sharpener sharpen crayons and pour shavings over wax paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Once you have the desired amount of crayon shavings (at least 1 cup) cover with a second sheet of wax paper

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4:  Have an adult iron over wax paper on a low temperature setting until crayon shavings are melted (this is very quick a couple of seconds)

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5: Have children cut waxed paper to desired shape.
