Homemade Crayons



Have you ever wondered what to do with all the little broken pieces of crayon? The paper has come off and they are so small they are hard to color with. Well, wonder no more. Here is a fantastic (and easy) thing to do with all of those left over pieces.

* Make sure all the paper is removed

* You can use any kind of baking pan. I chose the silicone ones because I have shapes in them. But the metal pans would work great too.

* Add like colors. As you can see we added some whites to them and mixed them up a little. It makes for a cool effect!


* Bake in a 200 degree oven for about 30 minutes. The bigger the pieces the longer the cooking time.

* Remove from the oven and let them cool completely!

* Once cool, pop them out of the pans and start coloring!


They make great gifts too!
