Crayon Making 101

If you're anything like us, you have a huge tub of crayons at your house. The majority of them in our tub are broken. I was finally motivated to sort through the crayons and we decided to reuse the broken ones to make fun new crayons- perfect for little hands and little ones {like Jackson}.

Here's what you do:

First, spray a muffin pan lightly with non-stick spray. Then peel the paper off your broken crayons and arrange in the cups. We did some all one color and some mixed colors.



Bake them at 275 degrees for about 10 minutes. Watch them carefully. Some crayon brands take longer to melt, we discovered.

Once they are completely melted, remove and let cool. You can swirl the colors with a toothpick while still melted if you like. We also put our pan in the fridge after it was cool enough to touch which sped up the process.

Once cooled they should pop right out and you're ready for some coloring fun!
