color me beautiful

Carlos has a tendency to be all picky when it comes to his crayons. He doesn't mind if its broken but cannot stand when it does not glide properly on paper. So really he doesn't really want any that is not Crayola. So we have a bunch lying around unused and unwanted. So what to do with them?? 
Carlos all ready for this project! He was like Mom let's do it already!!!

So this involves a candle, a metal spoon and your old crayons.

So we picked a few to use and broke them into smaller pieces and removed the wrappers
then off to melting... 
(do do this for your child to avoid accidents)
It takes only about a minute to melt
then off to the paper it goes!
make it glide from side to side or..
BLOW
and just repeat steps =))

yay for the finished product! =)
One happy Carlos! =)
This was done before I left that is why we finished in only 20 minutes... if not that paper would have been filled! I was off to the dentist for Crown lengthening (waaaaah) then passed by our shoot afterwards! They were almost done when I got there but it was worth it even just for the catching up! Missed you guys
