Look at the art work that happened at our centre today.
I think these are the most beautiful pieces of art work that I have ever seen. It's the glossy shine that they have that I appreciate the most.
We used warming trays, big and small, to melt crayons on paper.
I pushed the table back against the wall so all the cords could safely be out of the way. I had quite the concern of someone getting burnt during this project.
Watch how this little guy quickly understood what was happening.

| Once he figured it out mom got into it herself. |

| Adding more colour and sometimes laying the crayon flat. | |

The smaller mug warming trays were a little trickier and they sometimes needed assistance to hold the paper in place.
We did learn where was the safe place to hold on.
Although he learned from experience that when the crayon melts that wax is still hot. Ouch to his fingertip.
We used tools to help move the melting crayons around or to make designs.
We also noticed that the colour separated from the wax and the wax spread much farther than the colour.
We will definitely do this art exploration again very soon.
