what every crayon dreams to be...

We like bold strong lines around here,
whether that means soaking our chalk in buckets of water in the summer
or putting our rocks in the oven before we draw on them with crayons...

I have long been trying to think of a use for my old electric frying pan...

With the heat set on the lowest possible setting,
place your paper in the pan for a second to warm up.
This is where the fun begins.
Regular old crayons turn into bold dramatic tools that melt and mix together.

The kids seemed to prefer using the edge of the crayon to cover more area.
They also enjoyed making use of the crayons we had melted into circles in the muffin tin previously.
The photo doesn't do it justice, but they look like stained glass with the light shining through.
