Guest Post – Crayon Crafts

My good friend, amazing artist and even better photographer has graciously given me an any-time craft good for kids of all ages (so long as you’re right there, helping!) She’s so creative! Her blog has so many more crafts and beautiful photos, definitely go check it out!

Hi, my name is Alex and I’m the mom of two little (and active!) boys ages 3 and 6. You can follow our adventures on my blog, Alex Nguyen Portraits. Here is a fun and simple craft to do that’s good for toddlers and elementary school kids with just a little adult supervision. It also helps use up the broken crayon bits you have laying around. It will create beautiful stain art like art projects.

What You Need:

  • wax paper

 

  • crayons

 

  • (cheese) grater

 

  • iron

 

  • towel

 

  • scrap/construction paper (optional)

    I use a cheese grater (use hot water to clean off the wax), and get small shavings of the crayons

About parentwin

One morning, I woke up, and I had twins. Herein you will find our stories, trials, tribulations and lessons learned. Places you can go and things you can do with little ones trailing behind you. How to be an adult after becoming a parent. Serene moments in parent life. And articles that may interest you, since everyone seems to want to tell us about how we're doing it wrong. The short story? I'm a 28-year-old former television news producer who is now taking care of my two-year-old twin girls. I'm starting this blog because I read something on the internet that made me angry, and I wanted to share it with you.
