Preschool Art Projects Series Using Different Art Mediums: Crayons

Crayons are great for coloring pages for little ones, but you can do so much more with them than just color! There are so many amazing crafts you can make with crayons.

During this series we will explore different art projects that can be done using different mediums.

This week we will be having fun with crayons! Here are some of my favorites:
