End of the Year Bulletin Board
This End of the Year Bulletin Board is so cute!As we are gearing up for the end of the year, we’ll be making these again for our bulletin board in the hallway…my kids LOVE making them! They can be found {HERE} on TpT. These are not too difficult to make. They are easy and fun. They make the cutest board!
This week after reading “At the Crayon Factory,” we made real crayons! I tried letting them grate some of the crayons to see what it would look like (I couldn’t believe that most of my kids had never grated anything before!)
My kids were AMAZED!
We finished up our Mother’s Day frames…the pictures turned out super cute in the frames!
I also added another month and finished August’s drawings in my Directed Drawings for the Entire Year Pack. Here are the examples of September’s (yes, there are two cows, I couldn’t resist putting Maggie’s on there!) Looking for another end of year craft? Click HERE!

Happy Sunday!
WOW cool idea for grating crayongs–I always did it the chopped up way. Love how they turned out!

I found some Lego molds and plan on making crayons. Your cruisers are adorable!! Have a great week, Jen
I love your directed draws- I'm so glad I grabbed this unit when you first listed it- it's like getting a present every time you update. Thanks for sharing YOUR gift (I am NOT an artist at all)!
Jennifer,
Your cruisers are so precious! Love them!!
Where can I get directions on how to cook crayons? What temperature? How long? We need to do that in my classroom! Thank you!
It was easy! I sprayed a small muffin tin with cooking spray. Then I preheated the oven to 275 degrees. I "baked" them for 9 minutes..letting them cool for 10 minutes and then I put them in the fridge to cool even more (about 30 minutes). They popped right out perfectly =)
I've done crayons before, without the grating-just using nubs and broken pieces. It was a lot of fun and the kids really protect their new crayon. I found another quick framing idea for Mother's Day at http://monthbymonth.scholastic.com/teach.html…the Mother's Day pdf. It could still be done before the weekend.
