Recycle Old Crayons

Somewhere at the bottom of the craft drawer, you probably have some old crayons. You know, the ones that are too small to hold, devoid of paper, and are usually avoided by your children like they’re last years socks. Well now, thanks to BlissfullyDomestic.com, theres a project you can do to put new life into those forgotten nubs:

First, peel all the paper off the broken crayons and discard. If your child is toddler age, you will probably have to do this part yourself.
Have your child dump the broken crayons into a foil lined baking pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 10 minutes or until crayons are completely melted into a solid, rainbow block.
Let the melted crayons cool for about 20 minutes.
Using the foil, lift the block out of the pan and place it on the counter. It will still be warm and soft. This is the consistency you want, because the fun part is next!
Pick out a few chunky cookie cutters and let your child help to carefully press them all the way down into the wax, making a new crayon each time. You’ll want to start cutting around the edges where it’s cooler, saving the middle for last.
Place the cut out crayons on a plastic dish to fully cool. Soon you will be coloring together with your chunky, rainbow crayons!
