Materials:

  • Broken crayons
  • Wax paper
  • Iron
  • Ironing board
  • Dish towel
  • White paper
  • White fabric or a T-shirt

Directions:

Take a plain white piece of fabric (T-shirt) and prepare it by placing it on the ironing board "canvas" side up. Insert a piece of clean white paper between the layers of the T-shirt.

Kids can create a pattern on the T-shirt with the broken crayon pieces. Simple patterns might include a heart, a peace sign, or a rainbow. The adult can place waxed paper on top of the crayon pattern, and a dish towel on top of that. Use the iron on low to medium heat to melt the crayons into place. Then remove the towel and the waxed paper to see the new creation! Since the crayons are colored, the idea is to melt the color into the fabric. The wax will usually wash off, but the colors remain for a LONG time!
