This was a really fun project, very creative. First we took a bunch of crayons and filed them down into shavings. We shaved the crayons on wax paper. Once we had a desired amount of shavings on the wax paper, we folded it over. Then, the teachers took the wax paper and put a hot iron on it. This melted the crayon all into one and created a really cool pattern. We then took the crayon wax paper and got to cut out different forms of bugs. I choose a butterfly. After we cut out the figure, we glued it to construction paper and got to take a sharpie to it and draw in the details.
This can be part of a science project. When learning about bugs you can take a break and create your own bugs. They can be any color you want and any bug you want. After you create your bug and finish making them, you can present them to the class. You can have a made up bug or a real bug. With the bug you will tell what kind of environment they are in and how they survive.
