What's this you ask? Remember the recycled crayon craft I mentioned back in February? Well, we finally tried it here at home. It's a great way to make use of all those little crayon nubs at the bottom of the Rubbermaid container that my kids use for their crayons.
After a little time in the oven.. you have brand new super cool rainbow crayons! Instructions below.
1# Remove any paper left on old crayon nubs
2# Using an oven safe mini muffin tin add crayon bits until about 3/4 full.
3# Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
4# Place tin in center of oven for approximately 10 minutes, watching constantly. You do not want melted crayon mixture to bubble.
5# Once completely melted, remove VERY carefully from oven and let sit for several minutes until set.
I put the now warmish tin into the freezer and the crayons just fell out of the tin a few hours later. Then you have awesome rainbow coloured crayons just like these. Happy crayon making!
