Turn broken crayons into fun days with the kids
Note:
If you don't want to use an oven put the crayons in a bowl over a larger bowl of hot water.

  • Step 1

    Take wrappers off crayons

  • Step 2

    Put broken crayons into different parts of the tin.
    Mix colours for some unique outcomes!

  • Step 3

    Put in oven on gas mark 2
    Should take around 4 minuits but watch them, dont let them burn.

  • Step 4

    Remove once melted. Dont spill them, and put in fridge for about half an hour.

  • Step 5

    They should pop out easily once hardened. But if any crayon is left, it will come out with hot water. Enjoy!

My Mom and I made these when I was a kid with the broken bits of my crayons Happy We used a cleaned out tuna can, and put all of the colors that were broken.
