| MELTED CRAYONS OVER WARM ROCKS |
I bundled up a cooler full of warm rocks fresh from my oven.
We placed several layers of newspaper underneath the rocks. The grade threes were able to choose the colors they wanted to work with.
The rocks were hotter than would be ideal. It was hard to judge how hot to have them. Even an hour after being removed from my 300 degree oven they had not cooled enough to handle them. A much cooler oven would have probably worked better as you don't actually want your rocks too hot. Melting the wax gradually allows it to flow and mix with the other colors more effectively.
The whole class enjoyed the project creating some very unique pieces.
