In their concern for the environment people are thinking of ways to recycle almost everything. They are using bits and pieces of leftover product to make new art. Some projects have been created using candy molds with melted wax to make new objects for coloring, making it more fun for a child. Others melt to use as their own special seal for an envelope. You might consider using some of your ideas for making art with the leftover pieces.
Another fun way children love to play is with chalk pastels. Parents allow them to scribble all over the sidewalks and driveway of the home, knowing later it can simply be hosed off with water.
Some creative people are inspired to mix pieces of chalk with other products to make original art. Some have been successful using milk or water. Let your imagination run wild and see what you can create
Both children and adults also love working with clay making objects into works of art. A substitute product is plasticine. It is easier to use since it does not stick to your fingers. It can also be used repeatedly without drying out.
Art can be created by anyone with wax crayons and other art tools. Get yourself some paper and have some fun bringing life to your ideas.
