Less is more-Harold and the Purple Crayon

We had a creative class last Thursday! We saw a lot of budding artists among our class.
First things first, though! We started class by recycling old crayons into new crayons. We peeled off the paper of old crayons, broke them into pieces, placed them in muffin tins, and baked them in the oven!
It was fun to see the wax all melted. I will bring the finished products to our next class. They turned out really neat.

Next, we watched a video of Harold and the Purple Crayon. And then we went to work on creating our own imaginative drawings.
The kids were given a choice to choose up to five crayons. They all chose ONE! (Just like Harold.)
They then made a window using a ruler. After they drew the window, their imaginations and art skills went wild! I was immensely impressed with their houses, trees, people, balloons, and MONSTERS!!
