I have had this bucket of crayons (from my classroom) in the trunk of my car since...November! I know, kinda embarrassing!!! Yesterday Dylan and I decided to do something with them!
First, we put all the ones without paper in a baggie.
Next, we worked VERY hard on taking paper off of the other crayons. We worked for about 30 minutes. We didn't get too many done, but enough! I love the way Dylan sticks his tongue out when he is working hard. Didn't Michael Jordan always have his tongue out when he was playiing basketball??
Then, we took our plastic hammer and went to town breaking the crayons.
Next, we sprayed a muffin pan with non-stick spray and filled them about half way with different color crayons.
We baked them at 200 degrees for about 12 minutes. They won't be hard yet, just make sure they are all melted. They will harden as they cool down. Let them cool for an hour or so then pop them out. I had to use a knife to get some of them out, but they all came out. And no, the pan is not ruined!!
Here they are all stacked up. So pretty!
This is what they will look like when done.
Dylan coloring with them!!
Cute ideas with the crayons...use all red and green and use them during the holidays.
If you are having a green and blue (or pink and purple...) birthday party, make some in those colors, buy some coloring books, and hand out as party favors to kids??
I have a TON of old crayons left, you want to try this out let me know, I will send some your way! I don't think we will be making any more for a while!!
And one more of my underwear wearin' fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We no longer hate potty training! We now LOVE it! He is a pro after 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will say, he was a pro after about 4-5 hours really! Lets hope it continues!!
