Recycle Old Crayons

With the lil munchkins, its sort of inevitable to start with a box of fresh brand new crayons and not before long....half the box is now an assorted array of colorful broken crayons.

Later on in coloring adventures, my munchkins are coming to me asking me to fix the broken crayons...all I have is tape - and the tape does not hold up long before they are broken yet again.

So! Why not turn those broken crayons into cool shapes that Ive found hold up a bit more to breaking!?


What you'll need:

The box/bag of broken crayons

Silicon shaped baking mold

Oven

Remove the excess paper on the crayon and break the larger crayons into smaller pieces (makes for better mixing colors) & fill your baking mold with your color combinations

Forgot to take a photo of the crayons in my mold

Bake at 230 degrees F for 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool for a good 10-15min.

Pop them out - you're good to color with cool shapes!

Groooooovy right?! :]

Definitely cheaper than the Crayola brand crayon maker :]


Off to have some cool heart shaped coloring adventures with the munchkins!
