Preschool Crayon Project

I stole this idea from my friend Brooke's blog who is an amazing mom of a four-year-old little girl and twin baby girls. Somehow she still finds time to do this fun stuff.

Preschool Melted Crayon Project

This is a fun and easy way to recycle all those broken crayon pieces.

1. Remove wrappers from all the crayon pieces. Isaiah knows he's not usually allowed to do this, so he loved it!

2. Line muffin tins with foil liners. You can also use the paper liners, but use four so the crayons don't seep through.

3. We sorted the crayon pieces into similar colors, filling the liners about 2/3 full.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

5. Let the new round crayons cool for a few hours before using them.

Disclaimers:

1. This is a stinky project! Do this at a time when you can open the windows to get rid of the stink, and make sure you don't have company coming!

2. We noticed that crayola wrappers were the hardest to remove - another good reason to buy them!
