Crayon Transfer Drawings
There are so many awesome projects out there for alternative ways to use crayons, and sometimes you need to find ways to get rid of massive amounts of crayons at one time. Kids will love this activity and you can display their artwork around the house afterwards!
Materials
Directions
Have your child use her crayons to make a pattern on a piece of paper. Make sure that she presses down hard enough to get a thick layer of waxy color down on the paper.
Once the paper is covered, flip the crayon paper over, face-down on top of a piece of blank paper. Brush off the random wax bits that tend to accumulate on the crayon surface before you put it down.
Using a pencil or ball point pen, have your child draw (pressing firmly) whatever she likes. When she is finished, life your crayon paper to reveal the magic.
