Melting in the heat

melting pens

This week the children have enjoyed playing shops "tiendas" in our kitchen which has a leaky lean to conservatory type roof , the owners call it a solarium but that really is a bit too grand a name for it! Anyway it does get hot in there and in their cardboard box tienda they left out wax crayons plasticine and plastic felt tip pens all of which melted in the heat!
The weather is hot and sunny in the day (Scott gets sunburnt within minutes) but it is very very cold at night!
