Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and we have the perfect way to show the moms in your life how much you love them! Made using Ontario-grown soybeans, our melted crayon art is a great way to express your creativity and make a great gift.
Fun grain fact: one acre of soybeans can produce about 82,000 crayons!
Supplies needed:
- About 20 crayons, cut into quarters (We used a rainbow of colours; feel free to use the colours you like best)
- One canvas
- Glue (we used hot glue, but white glue would also work)
- Blow dryer
- Paper/cardboard to cover your work surface
- Marker/pen
Instructions:
Step 1: Gather all supplies needed and place the canvas on a flat surface.

Step 2: Arrange crayons in your desired shape and pattern on the canvas and glue them down.
Step 3: Write in your message for that special someone! Check out some of our favourite grain messages below.

Step 4: On your covered work surface, holding the canvas on its side, blow dry the crayons until they start to melt and run down the canvas. (This may be a step that requires adult help). Melt 3-4 crayons at a time, let dry, and move on to the next colour. We recommend starting with the darkest colours first!
Step 5: Let all the melted wax dry, and gift your craft to the lucky recipient!
