Besides coloring, how else can you use crayons to make pictures?

Boy! This is one of my favorite things to do...but then I have patience...

Gather up all the broken crayons you can...separate by colors..(for ease and speed of working with them).

Candles, matches, candle holder.

On wood, heavy cardboard, or heavy art paper (small or large):

Draw in pencil a picture like of a still life of fruit of of a house or barn and a field or flowers or modern art... what ever you like...what ever your skill level is.

Light a candle and set it near you working surface. Take a crayon, touch it near the flame (you don't want it to turn black) until a drip is about to fall........ now...put it to the surface you are "painting" and get the drops to fall where you need them...and you can create "brush stroke" type effects by touching the wax down.....

I have made many of these... I have one that is 45 years old! My father had it framed.

So don't throw out those crayon pieces!

"kvcar2" has given you a GREAT technique. Lay down some lines in crayon, and then, color over with watercolor paints. The waxy crayon will not allow the paint to soak into the paper.

Another technique I enjoyed and still use on occasion, is to cover a piece of heavy paper stock in layer after layer of crayon, beginning with light colors and then buildind up thicker layers of darker and brighter colors.

When the surface was thick and dark with wax crayon, I took the unbent end of a paper clip, and "drew" by scraping off lines of crayon. The colors were fairly unpredictible, with lighter colors showing up, depending on how deep I scratched the surface.

collect old pieces of unwrapped crayons, chop them into pea sized bits and store separately by color

prepare a canvas with gesso, then make a frame around it with wood lath strips or 1x2"s so the the frame extends at least 1/4 inch above the surface of the canvas.

lay the frame on its back

roughly sketch out your design

spoon the desired colors of chopped crayon onto the canvas.

carefully place the canvas on the upper rack of an oven (completely lined with foil!) and bake on warm until the crayons melt into a flat puddle on the canvas. if there are deep depressions, add more crayon

polish the cooled picture with a soft cloth

You can use it in combination with water colors as a wax resist technique. Water colors also come in crayon form that can be mixed with water on paper. Caron D'Arch makes a wonderful selection.

Take some binoculars along and an atlas or maps of some kind. Get a window seat and challenge your mind and your talents to follow your route in the air! Also for fun, as you look out the window, notice the changes human kind has made to the landscape. That is called cultural geography and is best observed from the air. Have a great trip!

Melt crayons between wax paper to create stained glass effects.

colour a piece of paper multicoloured except black. then color over the entire thing with black crayon pressing on hard then etch your picture into it using a lolly stick or something and you end up with a multicoloured image underneath

Melt it, make it into a sculpture and draw with that. Or melt it and drip it onto a piece of paper.
