Ok, so probably everyone has done this craft. It certainly isn't original but it came out of the recesses of my brain today when I was trying to think of a simple fun activity to do with Jackson while Carly took her nap. It's easy, cheap, already had all the supplies on hand, and it can double as some fall decoration - so that makes it a win-win-win-win in my book!
Materials needed: crayons (preferably old or broken ones), crayon or pencil sharpener (or old cheese grater), wax paper, newspaper, scissors, iron, marker.
Layer newspaper, one sheet wax paper, crayon shavings, wax paper, newspaper. I used an old tea towel on top of it all, too.
Iron on low setting just until the crayon is melted. Draw your leaves (don't be jealous of my sweet leaf drawing skills!) and cut them out. (For the pumpkins, we drew them first so we knew where to put the orange & green).
Tape or hang them on a window and admire your new cute suncatchers!
