Project Description: Using melted crayon shavings, we were able to make this spring look a little better.
Steps:
- We began by watching a short clip from It's A Bug's Life to introduce the lesson.
- After looking how to properly use a file with a crayon, we picked at out as many colors as desired. In my butterfly I choose four colors; blue, pink, green, and purple.
- We shaved fillings of the crayons onto our wax paper. I wanted enough to cover the whole side that we had to use(the wax paper was folded in half to being with).
- Once I had my desired amount, I flipped the other half of the wax paper on top.
- I carried it to one of my teachers so she could use an iron to help melt the crayons inside.
- Using a butterfly pattern, I traced it onto the wax paper. I cut out the butterfly.
- I glued it onto construction paper. I again cut the butterfly out leaving a border of construction paper.
- To finish this project, I used sharpie to had a little more detail to my butterfly.
Extension Activity: For an extension activity, I would incorporate this lesson into a science one. I would describe how the changes crayons go through; physical and chemical. The subject matter of the project would be anything ranging from season and animals to something to describe them
