Melted Crayon Art

 Rafael brushed the melted crayon on this one . He really enjoyed doing this .  

Rafael second one where it was laying on the griddle drew his picture and threw shaved crayon on it . 

Parker the griddle , crayon shavings too . Looks great . 

Nace he liked the wide look plus shavings . 

Lucy colored and in some places used a comb to get a neat affect . 

Falling Leaves

   I work with a young lady with Down Syndrome . Love her tremendously. 

We did a tree and having her color the tree then glue paper on for leaves ( which I cut the small pieces ) , then she glued them on her tree . The kinda looks like the leaves are falling like when the wind blows . She did a great job. 

Another thing we have been working on that has been helping her understand what she reads is what I call Read/Illustrate/Understand . 

We read the sentences

She finds the correct pictures as we read

Then she understands more 

This has been a great help to teach her this way . 

Playdoh

This playdoh was the softest ever and easy to make . 

1 cup hair conditioner

2 cup cornstarch

I made it for my almost 2 year old grandson , he never tried to eat it which is good . 

This recipe is mostly for littles who do not put everything in their mouth still .
