Follow these easy steps to help your children turn their old, broken crayons into creative designs.


If your kids have broken crayolas strolled all over the house, don’t toss them out -- help your kids make those old crayons new again by following these simple steps.

Materials Needed:

  • broken crayons
  • candy molds (can be purchased at any craft store)
  • tin pie pan
  • preheated oven

Steps:

  1. Gather old crayons and remove the paper.
  2. Place the crayons into a tin pan and place them in the oven until they are completely melted.
  3. Remove the melted crayons from the oven and pour them into the candy molds (this step should be completed by an adult).
  4. Let the crayons cool in the candy mold for two hours.

After the crayons have cooled, pop them out of the candy molds and let the fun begin. Your children will have a blast using these creative crayons to color their creations.
