What You Need:

How To Do It:

2. When the tray is warm enough to melt the crayons, draw a design on the foil. The crayon will melt as you draw.
3. When you're finished your picture, place a piece of paper over the design.
4. Put on the oven mits and press evenly over the back of the paper.
5. Carefully lift off the paper and admire your picture.
6. Wipe the foil clean with paper towels and you're ready to make another picture.
