Supplies:

  • ~ Waxed paper
  • ~ Old crayons-paper removed
  • ~ Photos of daycare children
  • ~ Glitter
  • ~ Hole punch
  • ~ Ribbon
  • ~ Scissors
  • ~ Newspaper

Directions:

  • ~ Have the children decorate one of the waxed paper circles with holiday themed stickers, glitter and a small photo of themselves.
  • ~ Sprinkle crayon shavings around the decoration.
  • ~ Adult only -place a few sheets of newspaper on your ironing board. Set the decorated circle on top of the newspaper and then place the 2nd circle on top of the decorated circle. Lay additional sheets of newspaper over the top. Using a warm iron, press over the newspaper until the crayon shavings begin to melt and the waxed paper circles are fused together.
