Crayon Project

There has not been anything to do for months now. It's been very hot here lately and that isn't helping us go stir crazy. A friend of mine posted online about a crayon project they did and I thought it was at least give us one hour of entertainment. It was 115 degrees here last weekend and it seemed like the perfect weekend to do the project. 

We first unwrapped all the crayons. Max helped me hot glue gun them down to the top of a white board.

We then took it outside and placed it at an angle so the sun could destroy the crayons with its excessive heat. To prevent the wax from going everywhere we put the board in a cardboard box that would collect the runoff wax.

It took a total of one hour to get our final artistic piece complete. I took a picture every 15 minutes so you can see the transformation of what 115 degrees can do to crayons in one hour. Note, the white crayons really didn't melt very well.

It was a hot weekend and we made the most of it with swimming, playing, making banana bread, and a fun artistic crayon project.
