DIY Crayon Melted Ornaments

I have seen these ornaments for the last couple years and I finally took the time to make them. It was fairy simple but, this activity is more for the adults or older children.

What I did:

-Used a butter knife to get crayon shavings

-Kids help put shavings in the ornament

-Used a hair dryer to melt crayon shavings.

The hair dryer does get the ornament hot so children should not hold ornament. If you keep hair dryer in one place for too long the colors will run together and blend and turn dark or even brown. The key is to get it warm enough to melt it just a little bit but not melt to a liquid where it will run all over.

I used glass ornaments so be cautious with glass as it is very breakable.

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray. They are a bit similar but yet different. Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1. Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2. Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid. Mix well. 3. Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4. Go have fun!!! This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week. I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general. I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry. I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes. :) Ready, Set, Go! Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her
