Make Your Own Chubby Crayons

 

 

 

 

Not only is this a great way to reuse old crayons and make fun chubby ones for toddlers, but it's a great craft activity for older children as well.

 

  •  First take the paper off the crayons and break them into little pieces.
     

  • Next  put the broken pieces (of various colors) into a mini-muffin tin.  Note that non-stick mini-muffin tins work best, and you could even experiment by using those with fun shapes.
     

  • Melt the crayons in the oven.
     

  • When all the crayons are melted, take the tins out, let them cool, and pop them into the freezer so that the wax gets hard enough  get the new crayons out.
     

 

Check out pictures of the crayons  & find out about making your own paper (toss in those crayon wrappers) and "landfill" snacks.
