Melted Crayon Art

For this project you will need: paper, wax paper, crayon shavings and an iron.
 For the paper ones, cut the paper into whatever shape you would like and let your little one sprinkle the crayon shavings onto one side. 

 Fold the paper in half
 Place a piece of construction paper over the heart and iron on top of it. 
 Open up the heart and Wa-la!  Beautiful hearts!  We are going to use these hearts on Valentine cards for special people in our lives with the words "You Melt My Heart, Valentine". 

 Another variation is to use wax paper.  Have your little one sprinkle crayon shavings on the wax paper and fold the ends over so that all of the shavings are enclosed.  Then melt the same way with your iron.
 Then cut the wax paper into the shape of your choice.
 These are really pretty as sun catchers, so we put them on the back door. 
 Olive loved sticking them to the door and she kept saying they were in "families"
 Beautiful Valentines!
