Trade Day Tycoon

 Eric's class hosted a trade day this past week and Eric showed some real entrepreneurial talent. The challenge was to create a unique product the you would sell or trade for other kid's products. Eric chose to make custom multi-colored crayons that would mark the paper with random multi-colored strokes as you colored with them. He made them by melting down the colors together and then pouring them into cookie molds to reconstitute into new crayons.

Success! His crayons, which he called Fuggies, worked great and was the most popular product of the class. His only mistake was not making enough of them. He sold out quick and had money to burn ...or melt.
