This is a fun art craft that uses melted crayons. Use multiple colors from the same color family and you get very realistic looking fall leaves.
Project Supplies:
Black construction paper
Wax paper
Crayons or crayon pieces in fall colors
Glue
Scissors
Iron (recommend adult supervision)
Directions:
1. Take black construction paper and cut it into 5x5 squares.
2. With two pieces of paper together, trace a leaf on the top square and then cut out the leaf with the two pieces together. The squares will be solid around the edges with a leaf pattern cut out of the center
3. Shave your crayons into small pieces or slivers.
4. Useing a warm iron, melt the crayon shavings between two pieces of wax paper. Then cut down the wax paper to fit between the two squares of construction paper.
4. To assemble the window, place one square of construction paper on the table and glue your wax paper glass to that square. Then place the second square over the first square making sure your leaf pattern matches up and glue the two squares together.
