This past Saturday I attended a baby shower for one of my little cousins. I say little, but of course that is just my perspective. Oh I am getting older and none the wiser. Anyhoo didly doo, it was great to see my cousins. While there my cousin (hmmm, I didn't ask to use her name) S, showed me a cute little rock covered in melted crayon. So cute, so fun and of course cheap and easy.
For this activity you will need to send your kids on a rock hunt. Just about any rock will do. However, a smooth rock looks better.

Place rocks on a baking sheet. Heat rocks in oven until they are hot. I just put them in while the oven was
pre-heating to 375 degrees, then removed them when the oven had reached it's goal.

Give each child a piece of wax paper. After giving a lesson on not touching hot things, place the rock on the wax paper and give your little artist some crayons. This is a great way to use you broken crayons.

The crayons will melt as soon as they touch the hot rock.
Caution: the rocks stay hot for a long time.

Even Baby Bug (2) was able to color a rock.
My kids had a blast and I hope yours will too. Thank you Cousin S!
By the way, if you do any of the crafts, activities or other idea's be sure to let me know. I would love to see what you have done.
