Ok, I am so excited with how our latest art project turned out!

We grated our broken crayons and melted them to create this gorgeous piece of fall tree.

Prepping for the process is fun - there's tin foil and painting involved, and the kids will enjoy sprinkling their crayon shavings over the painting to make their fall tree.

Oooo! I love this colourful and "magical" art process! We're using the classic "crayon resist" process to write secret Valentines messages, and then we're bringing them alive with colour! We're doing it a little differently than we have in the past too! No watercolour paints required! Bet you have everything you need on hand to do this at home or in your classroom! P.S. All ages enjoy this process! Even my teenager got right into making some! Aren't they pretty?
