Helen shows us how she made these creative paintings with melted crayons!
What did you do?
You use a hairdryer to melt your wax crayon and then splatter the wax as you want it in your canvas
It really is easy and inexpensive. The closer your crayon is to the canvas the better it works. I would recommend canvas.
What’s your next project idea?
I have attached an example. My 5-year-old did this one.
Tell us a bit about yourself…
I’m Helen. I have two children, Isaac who is 5 and Matthew is 2. We live in North Tyneside.
How are you finding being housebound with kids so far?
It’s not too bad as we get outside for our exercise which breaks the day up. They are still a bit too little to do anything that lasts longer than 10 minutes!
Any tips to help people when they are housebound with kids?
Just get out and about as much as possible while social distancing.
How has Housebound with Kids helped?
Its full of great ideas!
