I don't know if you have seen the amazing videos on YouTube for melting crayons to make art but oh my word..they are awesome. This one happens to be my fav probably because of the Ellie Goulding song playing with it. I didn't notice the terrible language in the comments until just now! Mercy YouTube can be tricky to work with in a classroom. The f word with crayons? C'mon! I was looking for a way to amp up my science lesson this week. We are working on melting and freezing. I also made a goal for myself over the summer to do more science experiments so what a perfect fit. I totally teased the kids the day before by telling them, "You cannot be absent tomorrow. We are going to do the most amazing science experiment! There were dying to know what but I didn't give in. These are the crayons I used to the left. Notice that it doesn't matter if the paper is on or off. I tried it both ways. It also doesn't matter if they are brand new or old crayons or Crayola or cheep-os. Everything works. I just hot glued them down onto a piece of poster board matching up the ends. I saved a pizza box from over the weekend to prop the poster board up and catch any mess. I moved a little table to the front of my carpet and covered it with black butcher paper to make it look like a real science lab. I also borrowed the science lab goggles for the kids to wear. I wish I could post the video of those precious babies in their goggles. Since I don't have every parent's permission for that I'll post these precious angels. that would be my baby on the left, Mateo and my nephew on the right Carter. Ha! I love it! Back to the lesson. I stood at the table and held the hair dryer. I projected a timer onto the whiteboard behind me so we could see how many seconds it took to start melting. I told the kids if it didn't work we'd stop after 5 minutes. (trying to build the suspense) It only took about 35 sec. and boy did they LOVE it. They were so stinkin' excited! I was repeating that vocabulary like crazy and they were eating it up. After the melted wax cooled back down into a solid (do ya like how I threw that science knowledge in there? hehe) I let the kids touch it. I added some labels with a sharpie and this beautiful work of art is now hanging on our science wall. Now how's that for a vocabulary card? I don't think they'll forget what melting means. It was such a success I even had a student teach her parents how to do this experiment that night and they brought it in to show me. Today another little one did the same thing! It just makes my heart sing to know they loved a lesson so much they want to do it at home. Science + Fun experiments = one great day!

Summer is the perfect time to get creative with DIY crafts, but sometimes it’s hard to find inspiration.

Today I worked with lines and scribbles, inspired by a few of my students who were in the 100 Drawings class. My goal was just to see what I can do with crayons, oil pastels, and other line-making tools, on their own, without point. I did venture into paint, though, as you'll see in the video, but the focus is on drawing media. These are not meant to be "pieces", or even studies. They are just byproducts of my playing around. Which is how I like to think of all my work. Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon Crayola, various oil pastels, water soluble crayon This one started on a piece of "scrap" paper, one I'd used to lift paint. So it has a ground of acrylic paint. I scratched through the oil pastel with a razor into the dark green at bottom right. This one is soft pastel (the really dusty kind), conte crayon (the black), a few oil pastels, and Crayola crayons. Maybe some graphite in there too. Graphite of various sorts, oil pastels, water soluble crayon Graphie, ink, Crayola crayon, and water soluble crayon Soft pastel, graphite crayon, Crayola crayon, ink, water soluble crayon Various oil pastels and crayons, acrylic paint Various crayons and oil pastels, graphite, ink, and acrylic paint This one started on a piece of "scrap" paper on which I had off-loaded excess paint. On top of the paint is graphite, oil pastel, and various crayons. Also done on top of paint off-loads: mostly oil pastel, acrylic paint. The crayons and oil pastels I reference in the video are: Crayola Crayons, which you can get anywhere, so a link is unnecessary. Cheap Oil Pastels: I used ProArt, but Cray Pas are comparable; Van Gogh are good inexpensive oil pastels. Sennelier Oil Pastels: these are buttery and pigment-rich. Holbein Oil Pastels: I love these; they are a bit harder than the Sennelier, and just as smooth and pigment-rich. They come in a H U G E range of colors, with tints and shades of many colors as well. These are a bit larger than Sennelier, and comparably more expensive per piece. Caran d'Ache Neopastel: yummy, not as soft as Sennelier, good pigment load. These are a little smaller than the Sennelier, and very slightly cheaper. Probably the same price per unit of weight or volume. Caran d'Ache Neocolor II: these are the water soluble crayons I use all the time. In some of the above pieces I've used graphite crayon, graphite pencils, and pitt pens as well. Fun FUN!!

The crayons were spilling out of the container chubby... skinny... broken... used... donated... restaurant collected... You name it We were up to our elbows in crayons, (but instead of throwing them out) I had several activities in mind... Crayon Bundles What I did: I grabbed a crayon from each "color family", grabbed a small rubber band, and made crayon bundles. (Language and Literacy, Visual and Performing Arts, Physical Development) What they did: They picked up the crayon bundles and began coloring! Since I was working with a mixed age group it was very interesting to see the children's various "scribbling stages". Lesson Reinforced: Scribbling is an essential part of a child's fine motor development. In fact, there are actually "20 basic scribbles" children must master before the formal writing stage Rhoda Kellogg- "20 Basic Scribbles" Helpful Tip: Keep your children's developmental age/ stage in mind when planning activities. Supervise and know your children. Crayon Melting What I did: I kept seeing different variations of this idea on Pinterest so I decided to try to make a crayon masterpiece of my own I grabbed a piece of canvas that the children had tossed to the side tore up some painter's tape to spell out my name hot-glued some crayons grabbed my hair dryer and quickly realized that... I should have left the wrappers on the crayons! "It may not turn out how you expect, but that's art for you"  (Click here to see more crayon activities)
