Kids' Crafts: Crayon Recycle

This is a great way to use up all of those broken pieces of crayon in the bottom of the crayon tin. Just melt the broken pieces into fun shapes using mini cake pans or shaped cookie sheets. Easy peasy!

Supplies:
Broken crayon pieces
Kitchen knife
Cookie sheet or mini cake pans

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 180 degrees F.
2) Cut broken crayons into pea-size pieces using a kitchen knife.
3) Let kids fill the shapes on the cookie sheet or mini cake pans with the crayon pieces. (FYI: They don't have to be filled to the top for this to work.)
4) Place pans or sheets into oven and heat for 15 to 20 minutes or just until wax melts.
5) Remove from oven as soon as wax is melted. Let cool in pans before placing pan in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
6) Pieces should pop out of pan easily after cooling in the refrigerator. Have fun coloring!
