Artsy Blocks

Remember my melted crayon craft project? Well this is pretty much the same except 100 times more awesome. This project has to do with melted crayons and wood, it looks amazing when your done and your kids will love helping to make them (and of course playing with them afterwards).

We all had a pretty great time with this project! We loved the melted crayon drawings, loved the watercolor designs, loved working on wood, and really love our art blocks. We plan to make lots of these colorful building blocks as soon as we can get our hands on some more plain wooden ones!


Materials

• Watercolor paints
• Wood (blocks optional)
• Crayons
• Cookie sheet

Directions

1. Put your wood pieces on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree F oven to heat up. 
2. Once the blocks are hot, set them on the towel-protected table and draw with crayons.(The crayon melt as you draw.)
3. After you finish with your melted crayon drawings on the wood, grab some liquid watercolors and paint over the drawings. (The watercolor resist worked great on the wood!)
