Friday Show and Tell


These are some pencil that I made out of some wood from the holly tree. First I chopped it to the right length.  Then I drilled a hole and removed the sawdust. Finally, I poured melted crayon wax into it and left it to harden then whittled a point.



I have also made these animals out of some oak. The turtle I made by carving the shell and pattern on the top and then gluing on the legs and head. I made the snake next and then the crocodiles.

 Wooden pencils for sale £1.50 each.

Those are all cool! I will have to show this post to my dad and maybe he can help me do something like this. He likes to do woodworking building stuff when he has time.

My boys were very impressed when they saw your pencils, but then came the question: "How do you melt the crayons?" And I don't know the answer...
Do you mind telling us?
