I had the flu earlier this week (first week of school holidays, which was a bit of a let-down for the kids) and it really had me out of action for one of the days (I haven't had anything like it since my early 20s when I recall not being able to get out of bed/off the couch and could only doze). Fortunately the kids are pretty self-sufficient and could get themselves food and entertain themselves all day (and then did the necessary chores like feeding/putting the chickens away, lighting the fire, and putting baked potatoes on for dinner so Simon to finish cooking when he got home from work), and I already had my Tuesday's blog post on what I'd been up to all written up lol. On one of my recovery days we decided to get the stones out and give this a go (despite the fact that it was a gorgeous Autumn day outside when we'd much rather be exporing and playing ... but oh well ... at least we got to sit in the sun!).
Hot Rocks with melted wax...

Looks great fun Nikki. It reminds me of my favourite memory from when I was at kindy and we made wax paintings by melting the crayon end on a candle and letting it drip on our paper. No doubt outlawed by current regulations now.
I hope you are feeling better and better.
Lovely to hear from you Nikki - and so great to find your blog! Thank you for visiting and I look forward to reading more from you. Blessings.
I think we'll do this one the next time the Cousins are over. :)
Yours are fine!
Sandra, what a cool memory. Yes, no doubt OSH wouldn't let that one fly any longer ;)
Avie, thanks for your comment.
Steph, it was fun! We definitely would have done more if we had more stones. It will be one that I can see asked for again. Some of the crayons we chose weren't very good quality (hence wanting to melt them rather than use them for colouring lol) and it really showed when it melted (quite watery and lacking colour).
