Today is my last vacation day so I realized I had these old crayons in the garage I brought from school, the teachers usually throw them away. So I said why not recycle them. I had forgotten all about them until I saw the bag while I was going through my stuff.. And so here are the results and easy steps. It is a very simple thing to do just spare some time and do it. If you have your kids help you it's wonderful because peeling the paper off is the most time consuming. But other than that they are fast to make. Have fun and don't forget to post your stuff too! If you do get to do this make sure you let me know how they turned out. Have a great day!
1.First you peel off the paper from the old broken crayons.
2. Then you break them into one inch pieces.
3. Insert them in a cupcake container make sure you put some veggie oil or oil cooking spray. If you use silicone cupcake containers will work best the crayons are easier to come out.
4. Next put them in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Wait for them to cool down.
5. Color your day away!
This is a fun project with kids! I've done this with my nephew and we have actually mixed colors so the final crayon is multicolored! Thanks for reminding me!
