Recycled Crayon Leaves

I saw this project on another blog recently and thought it would be fun. The kiddos loved the grated crayons and couldn't keep their hands out of it. They had alot of fun watching the crayons melt under the warm iron. I decided to try this project at school with my sons Kindergarten class..... things were a bit messy but all in all everyone had fun with the project.

Project: Recycled crayon leaf

Grated crayons, I melted mine by color so they were a large chunk, then grated.

wax paper

scissors

black construction paper

iron, towel

Cut the leaf shape out of the black paper, two sheets together. Then sprinkle the grated crayon on the wax paper, place another wax sheet on top and iron. Then sandwich the wax paper with melted crayons in between the black construction paper. If you hang in a window then you get a beautiful transparency like stained glass.
