If you live in a house with kids that color, you probably have some broken crayons. In our house, we get a lot of these, especially since my one year old loves to dump things. She dumps out the bucket of crayons at least once a week. This results in a LOT of broken crayons.
Instead of throwing the broken pieces away, why not make some new ones to use?
Supplies needed:
- Broken crayons
- Oven
- Silicone mold

10 minutes later . . . The crayons just look sort of sweaty. |

25 minutes later . . . Finished crayons. At this point I was silently freaking out thinking the crayons were going to be all one color. I was starting to get pretty disappointed at the whole process. |

Bottom of the crayon – Thank goodness! See. All swirly and pretty like I had hoped! |
Enjoy your new color creations! :)

what an *awesome* idea!
I remember growing up, I hated the broken crayons!
We are starting to collect lots of broken crayons, and this seems like a great way to make broken crayons interesting.
Thanks for the tip!
