Melted Crayon Art
This was a science/art project that my students did this week. It is kind of hard to tell but the crayons are melted onto the paper. The melted look gives the paper a shiny affect. You start with a hot plat and then you put tub sock on your student’s hands. Give them a large crayon with the paper taken off and let them color on the paper (press hard). This of course is a one-on-one project but they have so much fun as they watched the crayons melt and mix with other crayon colors. Note about the hot plate (find on old one at a garage sale) also (have the students stand at a table that is lower than they are so that they do not rest their arms or hands on the hot plate) (you can also fold a dry towel and lay it across the front of the hot plate to be extra precautious).
