Creating Crayons from Recycled Oil and Natural Pigments

At the workshop, participants will learn how to create crayons from recycled oil and natural pigments. We will introduce materials for making crayons and natural dyes that can be recognized even in your home environment (turmeric, dried red beets, etc.). Using a simple process of heating and mixing non-hazardous raw materials, we will produce and test crayons in the green lab, which the children can take home at the end of the workshop.

The workshop is meant for children from 8 to 14 years old.
