Last weekend I was looking through Flickr and found this great photo of Jaime‘s — they made their own crayons! It looked like a simple fun project to do, so we gave it a shot.
Well.
I’m here to tell you that it really isn’t as simple as it looks. For example, did you know that some crayons don’t melt? Hey, neither did I! So we were looking through the oven door at the crayons and some had melted and some were being a little stubborn.
So I think to myself “Hey self, let’s just let it stay in the oven a little longer!” But seriously, self, that was a really stupid move because all that did was make the melted crayons start to boil and thus mix together into really, um, interesting colors. Like “poop” for one.
And I know it isn’t just me because Chip, who has a very consistent habit of getting opposites backwards, brought one of the crayons to me the other day and said “Mommy! Lucy peed!”
And let’s just say, he didn’t mean it looked like dog “pee.”
Oh, and for future reference, I am possibly not your go-to person for crafting advice.
