melted crayon hearts

This week for our art project we sharpened lots of crayons, laid them between wax paper, covered it with a towel, and laid an iron on top of it. Later I traced a heart on top, cut them our and hung them on the windows. The boys loved to see the crayons when they were only half melted! They had a lot of fun with this project. Idea found here.

sorry, it was late when I remembered to take a picture...

Constellations

In science the boys were learning about stars, so we took a break from the textbook and dived into a little star 'gazing'! We looked up a few constellations, learned a little about them, then 'charted' them onto paper. Idea found here.
