I received an account on pinterest.com which is a great website for almost anything! One of the groups they have is do it yourself projects and crafts! It is one of my favorite places to go for some easy ideas so check out www.pinterest.com and have fun! This crayon idea below was found on pinterest so get an account and start crafting away!
Another fun craft that can turn into a decorative master piece in one of your children’s room is a rainbow of melted crayon colors on a canvas. It’s such a cheap and easy to do craft that let children really love ‘art’! Personally, I grabbed two boxes of crayons and put them into rainbow order. I lined each one at the top of the canvas right next to each other and hot glue gunned them on. Grab a blow dryer and blow right above the crayons while placing the canvas upright, and not laying down on the ground. This is so the crayon colors will melt down and not into a huge mess! Almost instantly you can see the crayon color starting to melt down the canvas! Move along the top of the board and see your rainbow forming canvas begin to form. If you want to get a little crazier, you can tilt your canvas different ways if you want the colors to drip in different directions. You can even let the first few colors in the row dry first, and then tilt the canvas and start drying the other colors to overlap the already dried ones. It’s such an easy, fast, and cheap way to keep the children occupied and entertained. Even you will find yourself wanting to do one!
Another similar craft that can be used as a decoration masterpiece is something where you will only need a large canvas, or even cheap large poster board, some tape, and any type of paint. Next, you tape out the child’s name on the board, and then let the children finger paint whatever they want around and on the tape! Before the paint dries, take the tape off and watch the kid’s expressions! It’s a great way to let the kids bring something home from a birthday party that parents will enjoy as well.
