When I found this activity, I had visions of rainbow-colored candles with swirls of color that would accent the lights shining in the eyes of each recipient this holiday season.
Harumph.
Sometimes visions remain just that- visions.
We melted broken crayon pieces to make these candles. As you can see from the candle on the left, we used too many dark-colored crayons. So the second time, we used only light-colored crayons, thinking that would surely solve our problem.
It didn’t. Manure-colored candle, anyone?
Hmm I wonder how you could get the candles to be more of a rainbow-ish color? I will experiment with this
I want to try making these with all my broken crayons in my desk in my dorm.
How do you melt them to be in the shape of a candle?
