Melted-Crayon Spring Garden Craft
With this timely spring craft, your students will transform their crayons into a beautiful spring garden.
Note: The size of the white paper will determine the number of crayons each student will need. To reduce the number of crayons used, cut the white paper into smaller sizes. Four crayons side-by-side take up approximately 1.25 inches.
Note: You can provide craft materials instead of pre-made flower tops if your students want to draw or fold their own flowers.
