Re-create Crayons!

My oldest boy (2 years old) loves crayons and breaks them often. =) So I decided to do something with the broken pieces. This activity can be done with the help of a child but adult supervision is a must.

This is what I did: 

1. Peel all broken crayons.

2. Break into small pieces and fit into a fun mold. Similar colors together are awesome but rainbow crayons are the best!

3. Melt in the microwave (I did 1 minute initially then 30 second intervals – until completely melted, about 3 minutes total for the molds I chose).

4. Wait for them to dry and ta-da! New crayons! =)

My LO loved them! I hope you do too. Enjoy!
