Fall leaves

We love fall here in phoenix, it means we are finishing up

 with 110 degree days! The kids love warming 

tray art, so today we celebrated the beginning of 

fall by doing fall leaves on the warming

tray.  I found my trays at thrift shops. If you can't

find any an old electric griddle on warm will

work. Remind the kids the tray is warm so be sure not to touch.

 I set blocks on the ends of the tray, and a folded dish towel on the bottom

as a precaution, although they are warm not hot. Jumbo

crayons with the paper removed works great for this project. 

Coloring on the warm tray is very soothing and the kids love to watch 

the crayons melt as they color.The finished art work becomes

 transparent and looks beautiful hanging on the windows.
