Crayon making

How to make homemade crayons:




1. Find all the broken, random pieces of crayon you have all over your house. Find a willing child that will peel all the labels off and then chop them into hunks.



2. Fill a small cake pan full of a mix of crayons. If you really want to get creative (i.e. you don't have a two year old trying to help) do themed ones. Red and green mixes for Christmas or black and orange for Halloween. It's really fun! (I only had a Christmas tree pan so that is the only shape they get!)

3. Once they are all filled, place in a pre-heated oven at 170 degrees. I think I cooked mine for about 20 minutes. You will be able to tell once they are all melted together. Let them cool for a few hours on the counter or if your have impatient kids, a few minutes in the freezer!

TA DA! Happy kids who want to color all day long! Enjoy!
