This is a great way to recycle old crayons or use ones that are nearly used up. Have your child arrange the shavings by color to create a picture on their canvas. For example, they can arrange the shavings to resemble a flower or a rainbow. Make sure you do this step outside, so you don\u2019t have to transfer the picture and, in doing so, ruin the pattern. The next step is the hardest but the most exciting! Wait for the sun to melt the crayons onto the canvas. Your child will love checking on their art throughout the afternoon, seeing the colors melt down. When all the crayons have melted and dried on, take the art inside and hang it up proudly! If you want to make sure everything sticks and stays, we recommend using a glue sealer like Mod Podge\u00ae.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For more coloring fun this summer, surprise your child with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iseeme.com\/en-us\/personalized-coloring-books.html\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">personalized coloring books<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> that feature their name!
