Crayons

Found a supply of crayons
stripped the broken ones for art projects
much more difficult than shelling beans.
and placed the unbroken ones
in a note card file box.

I remember saving the shavings when you sharpened a crayon.  You could make a picture and iron it between two pieces of waxed paper.  As the crayons melted it became even more magical.  Crayons can also be used when making a tie dyed shirt, where the crayon is ironed on, no dye will be absorbed.  I've noticed this year they have a machine called Melt N Mold.  Why didn't I think of that? Just in case Santa brings me one, I have my broken pieces ready.  If not, I will find a use for them.
