We had so much fun making these recycled crayons! My kids thought it was really cool that we could make swirly colored crayons. They also liked peeling the old crayons. It was a little time consuming to peel them, but it really is a simple project overall. I was wishing I had some of those fun-shaped muffin tins- they would be so cute. But, I still really liked how they turned out. The kids were thrilled!
How to Make Recycled Crayons:
Peel all of your old broken crayons and sort according to color into muffin tins.
Bake the crayons at 350 degrees F. until all melty- about 10 minutes.
Let them cool completely, and then pop them out.
Aren’t they fabulous?!
