There’s something about a newly opened box of perfect crayons that is so beautiful and comforting to me.
I normally cringe while she does it, but there’s also something about seeing a box completely destroyed.
The care it took to peel each crayon, put the wrappers in a pile, color a scribble with the crayon, and then line them all up.
Likewise, pretty beautiful. I need to let go more often…

My daughter peels the backing off the crayons so I googled it and your blog popped up! Thank you for the new perspective on it.

One time my daughter (who was around 2 at the time) saw me peel down a crayon to sharpen it. After that she would try to peel all of the crayons. I would tell her not to, but you know how that goes. So when I wasn't looking, she'd take a crayon and hide in her closet and peel it, leaving the wrappers in the corner. Kids are funny! Thankfully she grew out of that habit.

Wow, your girl has patience! I unpeeled a bunch of crayons before melting them down to make chunky crayons and it's harder than you might think to do them all at once.
