This is a beautiful hanging art activity. The children love to sprinkle the wax shavings onto the hearts and are delighted with the end result. These wax paper hearts look lovely when hung next to a window to display their beautiful melted colours.
You will need:
- Cut out double sided wax paper hearts
Wax crayons- Shavings of different coloured wax crayons. You can add glitter too.

To do:
- Ask your child to shave different colour wax crayons using a pencil sharpener.
