DIY Crayons

5/13/2014

I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but my daughter acquired a TON of crayons over the last year or so. This wouldn't be that big of a deal except that every time she got the crayons out she had to dump them all onto the table so they rolled all over. Granted, she would eventually line them up then tell me she put them to bed (picture at the end), still, clean up was a pain. To solve this, I decided we would melt them down into larger crayons.

You can use various molds to make these crayons. Most people I have seen online used old muffin tins. I used an ice cube tray I found at IKEA for $1. Whatever you use, the crayons will ruin it, unless you line the mold with foil or something. The picture below is of my mold after removing the crayons.

Materials:
Mold (see paragraph/picture above)
Crayons, unwrapped and broken into pieces no larger than 1"
Baking tray lined with foil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Place crayons in the mold then put the mold on top of the foil lined tray, then put in the oven. "Bake" the crayons until fully melted, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Place the mold in the freezer for about 10 minutes then remove the crayons from the mold.
