Solar Crayon Animals

Melt crayons with the sun!

Source: www.notimeforflashcards.com/2009/07/melting-crayons.html


Kit Includes:

  • crayons

  • paper plate

  • aluminum foil

  • cookie cutter shapes

Needed:

  • a sunny area on a hot day


1: Gather Materials

You will need some crayons, aluminum foil, cookie cutters, a paper plate, and a very hot sunny spot.


2: Peel Crayons

Start by peeling and breaking your crayons into small pieces. You can leave some chunky bits if it's over 100 degrees. If the day is cooler, try shavings or smaller pieces.


3: Cover Your Plate

Cover the plate with aluminum foil. Place the plate with the cookie cutters in a sunny spot. Add your broken crayons.


4: Wait

On a 100+ degree day, it may take an hour to melt, especially if you have lots of really big pieces.


Let cool inside, then pop out of the cookie cutters.
