Sadie and I finally found a use for our broken crayons while Mae was napping today. She peeled them and helped me break them into smaller pieces. Then we put them in a silicone gingerbread man bold and we baked them in the oven for about ten minutes. She was fascinated (she was hoping that they were going to turn into cookies). We let them cool in the fridge to harden.
Afterwards she tried coloring with them... but then decided that standing them up and stacking them were even more fun!
Okay, that's just clever. I'll be stealing this idea when I have little ones. Or at least, to entertain my pet art student.
ReplyDeleteI like this!!
ReplyDeleteCam and her children behave cutely while I leave unfitting (but tangentially relevant) comments:
ReplyDeleteCam and Thomist will both probably get a rise off of this one, if I read them right at all. The SCC recently ruled in favour of teaching children a wide variety of religions in Quebec public schools, simultaneously. Catholic parents offered a dissenting oppinion.

That is such a cute idea!
