Here are a few last minute warm weather crafts!

Draw an outline of a flower on a piece of construction paper.  Place the crayon shavings within the lines of the flower shape to make a colorful design.  Carefully place the picture outside in the sun.  Place a rock or some other heavy object, on the paper to keep it still.  Allow the shavings to melt.  For best results, leave the paper outside overnight to allow the shavings to harden completely.

Fold the paper plate in half and then unfold it.  Draw a boat design with the mast and sail above the fold line and the top of the boat on the fold line.  Cut around the mast and sail.  Fold the plate again using the original fold line to bring and mast and sail up.  Use markers to color the waves, boat and sail.

Materials Needed: Sea shells Paints Paintbrushes Ribbon Hot Glue Gun

Paint the grooves and lines of the shells using different colors.  Glue a loop of ribbon to the top of each shell so you can hang it up.  For a larger decoration, hot glue multiple shells together.
