We had to do this project 3 times before it worked and this is after the first time I tried this project back in 2010. Back then, I made a 'book' from cardboard/chipboard and lined the edges with extra chipboard to make a lip on the edges. Then I filled the cavity with melted wax to make a reusable wax tablet as part of our ancients' main lesson blocks. That project worked about once, and very quickly it was apparent that chipboard was not the right material for a project like this. It's been 14 years since that mishap. I'm attempting this project again as I homeschool my last child. This time, partly because of an abundance of clay, I thought we could make it with clay and add wax as before and the wax wouldn't soak through the chipboard or spill out everywhere. Well, the wax still spilled everywhere and now we ran into two more issues, which needed to be fixed if we were going to have a successful go at this project.
