EASY HOMEMADE CRAYONS

Earth Day is April 22nd, but everyday should be Earth Day. Don’t throw away those old crayons. Recycle them in this super easy activity! Make them with materials you already have at home. Then enjoy creating unique masterpieces with them or gift to friends to celebrate Earth Day!

Materials:

• Broken crayons (make sure to peal all paper off, I used an Xacto knife)
• Muffin tin (mini or regular size)
• Cooking spray
• Oven

Get Started!

1.) Spray muffin tins with cooking spray. Fill muffin tins with the crayons about half full.

2.) Bake at 350 degrees in the oven for about 5 minutes until melted/liquid.

3.) Leave in tin until dry & then take them out.

Notes: Try to avoid brown & black crayons. They will dominate in color and create dark muddy colored crayons. Mixing similar colors gives the best result. You can also use other fun molds to create different shapes.

Happy making & creating!
