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.

Warm October Days

Taken at BurMill Park.....just trying to soak up that warm October sun! Spent the day hiking around Lake Brandt and playing at the playground.

A Little Man and His Little Green

At the end of the summer Mike put a putting green in for K. It is in the front yard with a cup and a little flag. I made the flag with the request of a K on it. The green is so small we have to cut it with shears, we all take turns so it doesn't take too long. It has become a destination spot in the front yard, sometimes the kids take their little red chairs up there and just sit and put their feet on it. Next? Well, I guess we need a tiny bunker!

LOOK OUT........Project Runway!

So, by the age of 6, I hope to have her making her own clothes! As smart as she is, I have no doubt that it really could be a possibility. She loves to cut.

First Kindergarten Field Trip

Not many words needed. Great time, L enjoyed and K loved riding on the bus! I learned we need an "incase of fire" plan. "This is my FIRST field trip ever!!"
