The day we made fridge magnets

Jo had the brilliant idea of creating fridge magnets using the wax crayons and some small magnets. We used small foil pie dishes and cut up the wax crayons in fairly big chunks, about half a centimeter, and arranged these in the bottom of the dishes in various patterns. Then we applied the heat gun to melt the wax until it all went runny. We left them to set a while but before they completely hardened we dropped on the magnet to sink down into the wax a little. A few moments later the wax was hard and we tested it on the fridge!

You can glue the magnet onto the back as it can be a bit hit and miss dropping it on while the wax is molten.

We also tried writing into the foil on the bottom of the dish to have a message showing though this didn't work too well!
