If your crayon box looks anything like mine, you might be listening to the kids beg for new crayons on a regular basis. They aren’t shiny nor new, so for some reason they just aren’t fun anymore. Brighten up the coloring view by making your own fun new crayons – recycling the old used crayons your kids don’t want to use. You’ll have fun new crayons in 5 easy steps to making your own crayons.
Note: This project requires the use of an oven and baking pans (not to be reused for food)
You will need:
- old crayons
- muffin tin
- muffin cups (only if using a non-silcon muffin pan)
- oven
How to make it:
- remove any paper from the exsisting crayons
- break into smaller pieces and place in muffin tin
- bake at 200 degrees until melted (approx 20-30 minutes)
- let cool thoroughly
- have new coloring fun
