The visual of crayon shavings flying all over the room made my day. Thanks for sharing a partial craft fail… you did a great job turning it into such a fun activity that also looks gorgeous.

Might try this – I have a paint stripper and also a craft (mind goes blank as I try to remember what it is called) heat gun thingie – might try that with my son and a pencil sharpener! Thanks for the great Ideas!

Excellent Craft! My boys loved it! I actually used a hand held pencil sharpener as opposed to scissors to break up the crayons. I was able to use one and go pretty quickly through a crayon to help speed up the process, and they melted alot quicker. We were able to make 3 pictures in about 15 minutes! We will be doing this one again! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can also use table top warming trays: faster and just as safe as hairdryers. This one is much more elaborate than the one I use but will give you an idea of what I mean. http://www.freshfinds.com/tabletop-entertaining_entertaining/stainless-steel-warming-tray/
