3. Disappearing Crayons

You'll Need:

  • 1 pack of crayons
  • 1 piece of cardboard or wood
  • hot glue

Here's How:

3.1 Cut the crayons in half, making sure they're all the same size.

3.2 Now glue the crayon halves in 2 rows onto a piece of cardboard or wood. It should be about the same size as the crayon packaging.

3.3 Place the crayons on the piece of cardboard in the crayon packaging and use your hand to put a little bit of pressure on the sides of the packaging so the piece of cardboard with the crayons doesn't slide directly to the bottom. As soon as you let go of some of the pressure, the crayons are going to fall to the bottom and it'll look like you've made them magically disappear.
