CrayonsIdeally, you’d use old, broken crayons – I didn’t have those, so I used a box of 24 Crayola brand
Oven safe silicone molds in whatever shapes you want
Knife & cutting board
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
Peel the wrappers off your crayons. This was trickier than I anticipated. Apparently they glue them on now. When I was little I remember the wrappers falling off.
Chop your crayons into small pieces. I tried to keep the colors together, but my 3 year old helper wasn’t so worried about grouping.
Sprinkle pieces into the molds. I might have tried to make some patterns, but again, my 3 year old helper didn’t care so much.
chopped crayons filled 24 heart and star shapes.
Once the molds are full, place the trays onto a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes. The longer they melt, the more the colors swirl, so that’s up to you.
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool completely. We put ours in the freezer for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Because the molds were silicone, the crayons easily popped out.
