If you are ever looking for an easy kid-friendly project, try making some recycled crayons! It's a fun way to bring new life to old broken crayons. A creative project which makes the perfect size crayon discs for little hands. Or a fun and inexpensive addition to birthday party loot bags by making your own little sets personalized for each party goer!
What you need:
- a lot of broken crayons without their paper coverings
- an old muffin tin
- preheated oven to 250
What to do:
- break crayons down into smaller pieces
- assemble into muffin tins (tip: fill each space to the top for thick crayons)
* you can put similar colours together or mix the colours up for multi-coloured crayons
- melt crayons in the oven for about 15 min
- take out to cool (to speed up cooling process, put in the freezer for a couple minutes)
Yay - now you have your own recycled crayons - so fun! I packaged mine in wax paper + ribbon and added a label which can be customized for that added touch.
Have fun & get colouring!
