Crayon Melting Experiment

If you decide to be a crazy person and walk outside your air conditioned house

you will notice it is HOTT

Not single T hot

Double T HOTT

So as the kids and I were talking about how hot it is and what would happen if it were 485 degrees

we wondered if it was hot enough to melt a crayon.

So we made our hypothesis.

 Braeden said No

Ava said Yes

I said Yes

Reed said Yes

And because Braeden didn't want to be the only one saying no he claims to have heard Mason say No

We put some of our old crayons outside and this was the result

Isn't it beautiful!

I can see a melted crayon art project coming soon.

It is hot enough to melt a crayon and probably fry an egg!

And of course the kids couldn't have all that ooey goodness and not touch it.

But at least they used sticks!

As a little side note I noticed that the washable crayons melted faster than the regular ones.

It would be interesting to try it with different brands and see what happens.

If anyone tries it let me know how it goes!
