Fun Crayons

If you have kids, you most likely have crayons.  Whether they are from home art projects or from the school year, there is a good chance that you have some old and broken strays.  Here is a fun project that I did with my kids after a day of cleaning out their bedrooms and art center.  Kids love the final result!

 

What you need:

Small broken crayons (paper removed)

Muffin Tin (mini or regular sized)

Muffin cups (paper type)

To make fun crayons:

1.     1.Gather broken crayons and peel any paper off of them.

2.     2.Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F (120 C)

3.     3.Place a muffin cup in each of the muffin cups of your tray.

4.     4.Put some crayons in each of the cups (do not overfill).  Make sure to mix the colors to make your crayons even more fun!

5.     5.Bake for approximately 10 minutes.

6.     6.Remove tray from oven and let cool completely.

7.     7.Remove muffin cups from crayons by peeling back paper.

 

These crayons are fun to use on many projects and can even make a great gift!  Simply wrap a few in a small bag and tie with a cute ribbon.  Pair them with some coloring books or drawing pads and other art supplies and you have a fun and unique gift that any child will love!
