Supplies:

- A pencil or crayon sharpener

Put another piece of waxed paper over the shavings and use an iron on the lowest setting to iron the shavings until they are melted. It only takes a quick swipe to do this and it cools quickly too. Teachers or students can then draw raindrop shapes on the paper and cut them out. Use a hole puncher and embroidery floss to string them up in windows for displa
