We had some crayons that needed to be thrown away and I'm so cheap that I figured they could be 're' invented so we cooked them and made some NEW chubbie crayons!
peel crayons and put in a GREASED muffin pan
(we used a mini muffin pan)
mix up colors to make it interesting
cook in a 250 degree oven for about 8 min or until melted.
take them out CAREFULLY and swirl them with a toothpick (opt.)
i wanted mine to cool fast so I put them in a freezer for 5 min.
lightly tap the back of the muffin pan
to release the crayons
The kids thought this was the coolest thing ever and LOVED being able to take the paper off and break the crayons:). They helped come up with the color combinations too.
