In this activity, we first shaved crayons onto waxed paper and then "ironed" the paper together. After we did that, we cut out leaves from the waxed paper and then glued them onto a blank sheet of paper. Then we used oil pastels to create more leaves to make it stand out more.
Another activity you could do with this is create a waxed paper stained glass. Cut off an 8 1/2-by-11-inch sheet of wax paper and tape it to your work surface. Use a black permanent marker to draw a design or abstract shapes on the wax paper. Give the children a selection of oil pastels and instruct them to color in the picture. Encourage them to practice staying in the lines and experimenting with layering and coloring both light and dark sections. When the children are finished, make a frame out of heavier paper and tape the wax paper to the back of it. Hang the picture in the window so the sun can shine through the lightly colored sections.
