Recycled Crayons

I've seen this idea lots of places. take old broken crayons, peel the paper off and break them up even more. Put the broken pieces in a small tart or muffin tin. Bake at 200 F until melted. remove and allow to cool before removing your new rainbow crayons!





Hints:

• freeze the crayons before breaking them up


• use a silicone pan or grease the tin VERY well. DO NOT use a porous pan such as stone or cast iron


• if you have a pan that fits in your toaster oven, it is easier to watch the wax melt.


• Freeze the warm crayons to set them faster.
