What to do with all those broken crayons? Peal off the paper and make new ones!
Instructions: 1. Gather up all of your broken crayons, and cut them into small pieces. (An adult will need to help complete this step.) 2. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees. 3. Fill the muffin tin with an inch-thick layer of crayon pieces. 4. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until the wax is melted. 5. Allow the tin to cool; then pop out the crayons, and they’re ready for use.
Tips:
1. If you don’t have a muffin tin to devote to crayon making, you can line your regular muffin tin with foil cups. 2. Candy and soap making molds can also be used to create fun, shaped crayons. 3. Recycled crayons make a great no-cost gift or party favor.
