Do you want an fun project to do yourself our with your kiddos this next year? I already know that my kids will only be attending school one maybe two times a week. An if this summer has proven anything is they need structured time. Do not get me wrong, I think it is okay for kids to be bored from time to time, but I think they need a little structure. They are so bored and my kids just want to play with electronics all day. This next year I am going to make sure they have plenty to do. I am also going to hopefully be sharing once a week some stem or art projects to do. I will also share STEAM toys. Look out for those!

Today I am going to share how to make melted crayon art master piece. I also did a YouTube video of this if it is easier to watch.

- Remove the crayon wrappers. I removed the wrappers with a tool that Crayola had in their Crayon Melter kit. Arrange the crayons in the desired order.
- Set up the art area. Place the sheet or cardboard under the canvas.
- Take out the blow dryer or heat gun.
- Point the blow dryer at the tip of the crayon.
- Lightly touch the canvas with the crayon in a circular motion.
- Continue with all the crayons.
- Go back and fix any spots that are missing color.
