I give them away to kids who might not have them, but that still doesn't put a dent in them! Two years ago, I did crayon art with my 6th graders...everyone got a canvas, glued on the crayons, added a taped design and then melted the crayons. This was an end of the year project. It made a pretty good dent in the amount of crayons I had left. I think I may do something like that with my high school elective to try and get rid of more of them. Thanks for the advice on the tempera cakes!Mrs. Impeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08022104364845020710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596420938752384378.post-27364019891036252262013-08-28T11:25:58.428-07:002013-08-28T11:25:58.428-07:00Looks good!

I'm finally to a point where I am done for now ( your never really done...) I still have some visuals to do and some paper work but I can do that at home. Love,love,love construction paper crayons! They are my go to crayons! The kids really like them also! The only thing is you do not have a true red or a black so you have to use them from the regular crayons. I have a large copy paper box filled to the brim with regular crayons from over the years! I think i am going to have the kids separate them by color for me. Maybe i will try to make rainbow crayons...seen a lot of how to's on Pinterest! I started using the tempera cakes last year after a very,very long vacation from them. Years ago the colors were just blah and I didn't like the results we got with them. Well after reading that they had changed in other blogs i decided to give them a go. I really like them! The colors are bright and they are easy to use. They will dry with a mat chalky finish but it doesn't bother me. They were great to use with my little guys and the older kids enjoyed using them too. If I need a black for the kids to paint outlines I would just pop the black cake out and put it in a plastic paint cup! They worked great for painting our Gyotaku fish also! The regular tempera still can't be beat for color mixing. The solid cakes mix well enough but the kids end up making their paper fuzzy if we mix them on the paper. Well this was long winded! Sorry! Have a great school year! :)Mrs. Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750438627381465213noreply@blogger.com
