Crayon craft for the kids

This tutorial will show you how to make crayons out of old half used crayons or new cheap crayons to make bigger ones for little hands.

You Will need:
Crayons
Muffin Tray
Non Stick cooking spray


First you will need to peel off all the paper of the crayons.


Break up the crayons into little pieces and put them into the greased muffin pan

 

Then decide how you want your colors. (I did mostly all reds, pinks and purples and such together to help my son learn his colors)






Bake at 275 for about 10 min. Time may vary. (They melt fairly quickly)





When melted take them out and let them cool. If it is cold out side I suggest you put them outside or in the freezer. They will take about another 10 min to cool all the way.


When cooled they should pop out of the pan fairly easy. But if not i put a rag over the back and hit it with a butter knife (did not harm the pan) and they all fell out. Thank you! Let me know what you think!
