Description
A delightful craft project that combines creativity, fun, and science by repurposing old crayons into colorful suncatchers.
Ingredients
- Green crayons (or any color you choose)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Cookie cutter or stencil (in desired shape)
- Oven mitts
- Craft knife (for adult use)
- String or ribbon (for hanging)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a low temperature of around 200°F (93°C).
