I don’t know whether the melt down process or the end product is the most exciting part of this activity, but regardless, it is a fabulous way of using up broken or left-over bits of crayons. It’s also a good lesson for your children about how to be thrifty with waste
You will need:
- Left over or broken bits of crayons
- A muffin tin
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Oven
What to do:
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius
- Remove all paper from crayons
- Grease the muffin pan with non-stick spray
- Place pieces of the crayons into the muffin pans. Mix your colours if you want a rainbow effect, or keep colours separate eg. All green pieces together
- Place the tin in the oven for a few minutes until the crayons have melted – keep an eye on them
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the crayons cool completely before removing them
- Now use them to create works of art
