Crayon Fun

Yesterday was our sweet Bitty's 5th birthday and we surprised her with a trampoline so the kids have been spending a lot of time on it.  It's such great exercise and entertainment for them but between jumps they were asking to watch tv and my rule this summer is no tv from 9am-5pm so I knew it was time to scratch another thing off of our Summer Bucket List! 

Today we decided to play with crayons!  First we took blow dryers and heated up crayons and made splatter art!

 

 

 

 

We tried having 2 blow dryers going at once but the breaker kept popping so while Keegan worked on his project, Tatym & I started working on making heart-shaped crayons out of the broken pieces!

 

 

 

 

To make those crayons, we just used a regular heart-shaped cupcake tin, heated the oven to 250* and baked them for 10 minutes (checking every 2 minutes).

 

While those were baking away we decided to try lighting a crayon on fire.  It was fun and interesting and the kids LOVED it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

So that was our fun project of the day!  Happy Wednesday!!!
