Indoor January Activity for the Kid

Peel the paper off a few crayons ahead of time.

Heat your rocks up in the oven and then place them on newspaper.

Then let the kids hold the crayons to the rocks and watch them melt into beautiful designs!

Plus you get the added activity bonus of collecting the rocks and washing them in soap and water. (If that sounds strange to you then you must not have a kid under 5 years of age.)

Used to, Charley could spend hours washing rocks in the bathroom sink.

Very simple but fun.

Now be careful. Some age groups won't mix well with this craft.

(Charley was 5 years old when photographed here.)

It doesn't take much to keep 'em entertained, really. HEY, I remember when I melty crayon'ed a full pack o' crayola's on Mom's white banister railing at the Pleasant Valley Rd. house. That was a HOOT, right, Ma? (It's still there)

What about a 38 year old kid? I swear... I'm going home in a minute to try this.

Tell that Charley girl I might need some help.

I will have to try this out on Jordan:) This has definitely been an 'inside' weekend due to all the storms, so maybe I'll try it out soon!
