Here are some ideas for crafts that you can do indoors on a hot summer day.
Swirly stones
• Materials
Smooth flat rocks
Aluminum foil
Oven mitt
Newspapers
Old crayons
• Instructions
After you have gathered some smooth flat rocks you are going to need to clean them off and then bake them for 15 minutes on a foil lined cookie sheet at 225 degrees
Using an oven mitt remove the rocks from the oven and set them on a pad of newspapers (Rocks will be very hot to the touch)
Remove the wrappers from some old crayons and draw on the stones – the heat from the rocks will melt the crayons into liquid wax. For a swirly effect hold the crayon against the rock in one place to create a puddle of color and then use the end of the crayon to swirl it around
