To create a colorful canvas, collect broken crayons and help the children glue crayon pieces along the edge of of a blank art canvas board. Provide a multi-setting hair dryer and give each child a turn to blow heat on the crayon pieces. Point out that the pieces start out as a solid. Ask the children what causes the crayon pieces to turn into a liquid. Take pictures and display the canvas with dictation of what the children observed. This can be done in small group.
