I have something to confess: I’m not very good at art. I know. Here I am writing about art activities when I’m not very good at art myself, but hear me out. Regardless of my personal talents as an artist (or lack thereof), art is important for my kids to learn and to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So when I find ways to create an art project that doesn’t involve my clumsy drawing skills, I’m on it. And today I’ve got a great activity that’s both fun to do and something I genuinely am interested in hanging in my house (granted, it’s in the playroom and not the living room). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve read anything Dad Stuff, you’ll know I’m pretty cheap. If you’re of a similar frugal nature, you can by all means use a hairdryer for this activity. It’ll do just fine, but you will need to use it on the highest setting. This means the blower is going to be on high. And when the crayons melt, the higher blower setting is a little harder to control and is going to make a bigger mess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It shouldn’t be too big a big deal if you do this outside or in the garage with cardboard or plastic to cover the floor. There is a good chance you’ll get some melted crayon on your hairdryer. Something to consider before grabbing your wife’s nice hairdryer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m also a handy guy, so I’ll take an opportunity when I have an excuse to get a new tool. There have been a couple of times that I really wish I had a heat gun, but couldn’t justify buying one. And definitely not a nice one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
