Shave short slivers off of the crayons all the way around, in different directions, using a craft blade. This week, my daughter and I did this project together. Just as I suspected, she loved the project and was so thrilled with the results.

Put broken pieces of crayons in separate microwavable containers, that can eventually be thrown away. So, I switched to using a craft knife to carefully slice a line all the way across the paper (hot dog style, not hamburger) and then the whole piece of paper came right off.

With Rainbow Sorting Crayons, children embark on a vibrant and interactive journey through the world of colors. This delightful set engages children in a hands-on sorting experience that promotes color recognition, fine motor skills, and cognitive development.

Crayon melting technique #2The Rainbow Sorting Crayons not only provide a fun color exploration activity but also serve as a tool for developing fine motor skills. Children can practice their hand-eye coordination as they grasp, manipulate, and place the crayons into the corresponding slots. This hands-on experience enhances dexterity and strengthens finger muscles, setting a foundation for writing and other important tasks. Parents will appreciate the educational value of the Rainbow Sorting Crayons, knowing that their child is engaged in a purposeful activity that builds crucial skills. Teachers will find this versatile toy invaluable in the classroom, as it can be incorporated into various learning activities, from color recognition exercises to sensory play. This project works perfectly fine, and my students always love it. However, using better art materials definitely made this project even more fun! I usually like to use only reusable items, but melting crayons really does ruin the container. So, I recommend using small paper cups or something similar that is microwave safe and disposable.

This art project is a great way to introduce the wow factor of the crayon resist (or oil pastel resist) technique. Whether at home or in the classroom, this educational toy is sure to inspire creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong appreciation for the beautiful world of colors.

If you went with technique #1, let the wax cool without removing it from the microwave as long as you can.This is an option item and will only be used if you choose a specific crayon melting technique that I share below (which is technique #2 in step 4). If you opt for technique #1, you won’t need disposable, microwavable containers. How to Melt Crayons into Cool Shapes 1.Separate crayons by color. You want to kind of overfill them because when the crayons start to melt, the mass will shrink down.
