Kid Crafts: Crayon Creations

One of the blogs I follow posted this fun project earlier this week and I knew that I had to try making some fun Crayon Creations with the boys.

Supplies: 

Crayons (I used our less-than-awesome RoseArt Crayons)

Knife

Paper (thicker works better--we used marker/paint paper from an art pad)

Paper towels 

Iron

(This is definitely a mommy-needs-to-help craft)

First, peel back some paper from the end of the crayon and carve some shavings with the knife. The boys picked out the colors and I did the shaven'! 

Next, fold the paper in half and sprinkle some crayon shavings on one side

Fold the paper 

 Lay a paper towel under the paper (on the counter) and place a folded paper towel on top 

Iron over the paper towel for 20 seconds (I had the iron heated to Cotton/no steam) rubbing back and forth along the paper

Open your paper up and enjoy your Crayon Creation! 

Let dry in a cool place.

Benji helped me make a few but I didn't get any pics with him. 

Here is one of Micah's

Micah took this picture! 

The boys assigned "bugs" to all of them: "That one looks like a Butterfly/Caterpillar/Beetle/Etc"

Proudly display your Crayon Creations! Each one is so unique and pretty!
