Instructions
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Arrange your crayons (have your kid help) in a rainbow across the top of your canvas. The kid helped peel the papers off the crayons. Attach to the top of the canvas using a high-temperature glue gun.
Lay parchment paper on top of your cookie sheet.
Prop the canvas up at an angle on top of the bowl on the cookie sheet. Covering the bowl in tin foil will protect the bowl from wax.
Put the canvas, pan, and bowl in the oven for 2-4 minutes or until the crayons begin to melt.
Pull out of the oven and sprinkle with glitter if using. Allow canvas and wax to completely cool.
Cut out photo of child with scissors, then glue to the now cool canvas.
With a permanent marker write “You can’t have rainbows without rain.” Write the date on it, and admire your amazing gift!
