    Smile Reminder good time of the year to make HM crayons

    Recycle those broken crayons in time for the holidays. Great additional gift for the kids. Just melt and pop into some molds.
    I have a bunch and am definitely doing this soon.

    I did this for ds once - I put the crayons in muffin liner cups and put them in the oven on about 200 degrees for about 15 minutes or so then let them harden (make rainbow crayons by putting several colors together). Can you believe my ds hated them?????

    I throw all the broken crayons out too. I never think to make molds out of them. I will have to remember that next time before I throw them out.

    WOW! This is awesome!
    Tyler has a new found hobby... coloring... coloring really HARD. LOL
    He's forever breaking them... or sliding the paper down over the point and them saying "boke".

    I need some car molds.
    Hmmm... I have some candy molds here... wonder if they would work?

    Sara I love you! This is cool.
