Plus Bonus Salt Painting Fireworks! - From Plan to Play on Coloured Ice Cube Surprise: A Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiment This crayon resist art project seems so magical for children. It has the ‘wow factor’ and I always get a few gasps of wonder from children in my class.

Shave short slivers off of the crayons all the way around, in different directions, using a craft blade.Once the wax is completely dry and has hardened again, you can pop the newly formed crayons out of the molds. Stirring between intervals means that the color will turn solid, not marbled. So keep that in mind. For this technique, you can actually stir the crayon wax between each interval to help the melting process. You don’t have to though.

Although I usually prefer process art projects (like this one), this crayon resist art project is simple for children who are preschool or kindergarten age. Even toddlers would certainly be able to do this project with some modelling. You can also use pom poms for painting like in this cool rainbow craft from Fantastic Fun and Learning This method works best with silicone molds are pretty small, like the mini dome mold I used. If you have a pretty big mold, you’ll want to go with the second technique. Crayon melting technique #2 Put broken pieces of crayons in separate microwavable containers, that can eventually be thrown away.The oil pastels are soft enough to really fully colour the rainbow.

If you’re looking for more fun spring-themed art projects, try this tie-dye coffee filter flower craft! Note: this art project will NOT work if you swap the materials like acrylic paint, pencil crayons or markers. This art project is a great way to introduce the wow factor of the crayon resist (or oil pastel resist) technique. It’s really helpful to start by separating crayons by color. You don’t have to group every color individually. You want to kind of overfill them because when the crayons start to melt, the mass will shrink down.

This project works perfectly fine, and my students always love it. However, using better art materials definitely made this project even more fun! Place the container (with the broken up crayons inside), in the microwave and microwave on high for 30-60 second intervals until the wax has completely melted. However, there are so many other ways to use the crayon resist technique. I encourage you to try some out: It started out as crayon melting 101. But to make things a little more interesting, I created different shapes, like gems, domes, and planets to make them feel a little more special and unique.

Disclaimer:Using a craft knife is for adults only. Please don’t let your kids do this part. And also, for anyone using one of these blades, be careful! They’re sharp and can cut your fingers if you’re not careful. I’m very used to using blades like this, so it was fine for me. 3.Break up the crayons into small pieces. At first, I just used my nail to dig into the side of the paper and get it started. That was fine, but it started to hurt my nailed after a while. First, you’ll want to draw grass, using either crayons or oil pastels. Try to colour the grass strip in fully. Ever wondered how to melt crayons into cool shapes?
