This project was super fun but a little tricky. You shave old crayons for small morsel pieces. Place the pieces within a folded (hamburger style) piece of wax paper. There should be quite a few pieces to fully cover the surface area. You then use super low settings on an iron and melt the crayon shavings together within the wax paper. My iron settings were too high and more or less burned them but there are still some neat colors. Using laminated shapes already cut out, you can trace them onto your melted crayon wax and cut them out. I chose a cute ant.
Story time! The theme for the project was Spring. Different spring bugs like ants and butterflies were available for tracing. To add to their project, students could write a story as if they were a bug. What would they do all winter? When would they emerge outside? Who's in charge?
