4H Project -- Crayon Canvas Art!

This is a very easy 4H project. My seven year old did most of the work himself, with only 'minor' help from Mom.

What you need:

Crayons
Glue Gun & Sticks

Canvas
Blower Dryer


Directions:
Sort the crayons out by color. Then line the crayons up in desired order and position them on the canvas.  Parker and I chose to line them up along the top of the canvas because it was the easiest thing to do.



 Now that the crayons are all placed on the canvas, take it outside with your blow dryer and a cardboard box.

 When the crayons start too get a glossy, shiny look to them the wax will start dripping!
 This was my view as the canvas holder.
 He had a lot of fun doing this!



As you can see it was hot out, and the longest part of the process is melting the wax...poor kid started sweating!

 But the finished product is so cool!
