Our house is full of crayons. The pencil kind, the Twistable kind, the wax crayon kind. We use them all!!
Our little boy loves to colour so every single one gets used! Twistables can be used until every bit is gone and pencils can be sharpened, but what about wax crayons? They often break into two or three pieces and you usually end up with bits of wax crayon that are too small to use, even for the littlest of hands.
So, how can you make use of those bits of broken wax crayon? Well, you can make new ones!!!
Here's how..............
You will need
- Wax crayons
- Cupcake tin
- Cupcake cases
- Oven set to 140c
First, remove all the labels from the crayons and separate into colours. Alternatively you could mix them up to make rainbow crayons!
Place the cupcake cases into the tray and add the crayons. I filled them around halfway.
Place in the oven for 10 minutes.
Remove and leave to cool completely in the tray. Once cool turn out of the cake cases and your crayons are ready to use!
With them now being large, rounded crayons, they are great for big collages and for little hands to get creative!!
Happy crafting!

P.S. Don't use an ice cube tray instead of a baking tray!!!! It will melt!!
