    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!
