How to Decorate Halloween Pumpkins With Recycled Crayons


Number of Crayons Needed:  4

Other Materials Needed:  Pumpkin, tacky glue, tarp (or something to cover your work surface) and hair dryer or heat gun

Directions: 


Step 1:  Remove all of the paper from the crayons.

Step 2:  If your crayons are close to full size, break them in half.  You want about two inch pieces to glue on the top of your pumpkin. 

 Step 3:  Once the glue is dry, take your hairdryer and melt the crayons on the pumpkin.  They will start melting down the sides of the pumpkin.

    Great idea for little ones, so they don't cut themselves while craving.

    I have never seen this idea before. So creative and what a great way to use up those extra crayon pieces. My children can't wait to try this method.
