Crayon Drip Pumpkins - Elementary Art Cubs

What do you do with a bunch of broken crayons or used crayons without wrappers?  You use them in a creative project and melt them over pumpkins!  The Art Cubs (Climax Springs Elementary Art Club) met this month and created crayon drip/melt pumpkins.

Have a bunch of crayons you don't use?


Students carefully using the hot glue gun at their station.  Upper elementary students used the glue guns to decorate their pumpkins with crayons they selected and prepared.  Younger elementary students selected predesigned pumpkins.
Safety First.


Ready for the melting!


Using the hair dryer on high to melt the crayons.  Placing the pumpkin in a bucket helps catch all the spatter from flying wax







Students just love melting stuff.  Look at all of those happy faces.

How do you keep 27 elementary students busy and happy while they wait to melt crayons or keep them occupied after they've finished? Color pages!  27 students, 4 grade levels, 3 hot glue guns, 3 hot air dryers, 1 art teacher.  We have sharing and waiting going on. So proud of these students and their patience, helpfulness and good manners.

Artifact of coloring and cutting skills. Good job P!
