In Adventures In My Father's World, our main curriculum for Belle, we are studying the names of God. This week we are celebrating the name that means The Lord Saves: JESUS!
Such a simple, but fun way to spend these days when it's too hot to play outside for very long.
I had Belle draw and cut out the letters, and peel the crayon wrappers...she has a real talent for peeling crayons and garlic. Bless her.
I used my vegetable peeler to shave the crayons, which was so beautiful that it felt theraputic despite that fact that I could hear the boys getting into bathroom trouble. I just loved the colors and the shapes the shavings were making...maybe I need to get out more...see some sunsets or something...
We then ironed the letters and shavings between two pieces of wax paper on a low heat.
What we learned:: Wax paper + low heat = cool stuff.
Remember making stenciled shirts with it? ahh, good times...still waiting for that phone call, by the way...Tuesday was the 6 month mark since we've been officially waiting...sigh...

That is the aesomeness that is awesome!!! Did that make any sense???....lol
Kristen, Without reading the post first, I looked at the pictures and thought to myself, "Now, how on earth did she melt shaved carrots? Only Kristen could figure out how to do that! " LOL After I read and realized they were crayons, I thought cool idea!
That is fantastic! The only thing I could think to do with crayon shavings is put them in an old muffin pan and bake them to make new crayons. This is so much better. Thanks.
