GIRL: "Full Time Kid," with Mya.
[laughs] Hi, I'm Mya.
Do you like coloring with crayons?
What about melting them and turning them into a gooey art, like this?
Today, I'm going to show you how to make this masterpiece so you can make it with your friends and family.
Here's what you'll need for your crayon art.
A canvas.
Some crayons.
A hair dryer.
And a glue gun.
First, pick your favorite colors.
Then ask an adult to hot glue them onto the top of the canvas, like this.
[music playing] I wanted to personalize mine, so we're going to make an M for "Mya" out of tape.
Now we get to melt it.
Make sure your blow dryer is on high heat, and it's on low.
This part takes a while, so be patient!
Make sure to let the wax cool before you peel off the tape.
[beat boxing] Now that the wax has cooled, I'm going to peel off the tape.
[music playing] Ta-da!
You're very own crayon masterpiece.
You could hang it up anywhere.
Just make sure that people can see it.
[laughs] Hi!
Hello!
Hello, world!
ADULT: I'm rolling.
Just tell me when.
