Crayon Melting Madness

I got this idea from Pink and Green Mama. I like it because I am not very crafty and a lot of crafts I find require all kinds of crafty supplies I don't have on hand. But with this one all you need is your old, broken crayons, that's it! I didn't have Pink and Green Mama's cute little heart tray, but it was fun experimenting and finding what works. We used a muffin tin to do circles and cookie cutters wrapped in tin foil for some different shapes.

First step - sort your crayons and find all the old broken ones.

Make sure you peel that paper (good fine motor skills!)

Fill up a muffin tin (make sure you grease it)...


...and some cookie cutters.

Put them on low in the oven til they're all nice and melted.

Then let them cool. Once they reached room temperature I put mine in the freezer for a few minutes and they just popped right out!

Ta da! They make these really cool fun little circles with a nice, smooth texture.

Finally, make up some games and have fun!
