Recently we sorted through our crayons and found all the ones that were broken. The kids helped peel off the paper and break the crayons into even smaller pieces, then I let them each sort crayons into silicone muffin tins. We baked these in a 150 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Then I let the kids give the melted crayons a very slight stir with a wooden skewer. In no time we had "new" crayons.
I think the kids really liked the larger surface area to grip while coloring, and had so much fun just coloring to see what kind of color variations would show up on the paper.
My kind of craft!This post is linked to:
