Crayons Melted On Canvas ! So Cool !

This is a cool family project specially for the kids! This is a cool art project that the kids will love and enjoy doing!
You can do this on any size canvas i chose a small canvas with 24 crayola crayons but you can get bigger canvases and use as many crayons as you would like. Here 1 box was an exact fit for the size canvas i chose.
Begin by having the kids put the crayons in order of their color group. I do not recommend that the kids stick the crayons onto the canvas because you will be needing Krazy Glue to make sure that the crayons stay on. You don't want your children with fingers stuck to each other. 
Make sure you do this on top of newspaper because the splatter of the wax from the crayons will get everywhere and it will be a mission to clean up... My family learned this lesson as we had to heat up the splatter then wipe it off really fast. As a family we learned from that mistake.. Crayons are a pain in the butt to get off any surface unless you heat it up.
Here is the final project you can hang it like this or you can get it framed which is what me and my family have decided to do. I suggest you get all of your supplies at Michaels because they always have great deals! Enjoy please let me know what you guys thought about this easy and simple family project and please try it and send me photos so I can post them here as my DIY Family of the week!
