    Waxed paper art~ Stained glass art!
    Items needed:
    waxed paper
    crayons (with the paper peeled off)
    warming tray, candle warmer…CAUTION….SUPERVISE when hot/warm!
    Color waxed paper with crayons on warming tray surface. When done coloring, adult carefully picks up drawing & it dries in seconds!
    Optional framing with any recyclable materials or construction paper.
    Alternative ideas…adult shaves crayons & child sprinkles onto waxed paper, let melt. Cool.
    I had my girls use red, pink, white & purple crayons. Then I cut out hearts from their melted colors & they stuck them onto clear contact paper! Valentine stained glass art!

    Some things we do when we cant go outside…. Bring the snow indoors to play with & of course color it with food coloring. Make an indoor “fire” and have a camp in with a fort- bake cookies- make snow-doh, the list can go on! Thanks for your posts, we love find time for fun ~ Gina
