I found this cute heart tray at Ikea for a few dollars. I peeled the crayons I wanted to use and broke them into pieces that would fit in the hearts. I kept the color families together because I can't stand the color you get when random crayon colors all mix together. After I took this picture I actually added a few more crayon pieces to each section. When they melt they will shrink down.
The next step is to put the tray of broken crayons in an oven at 250 degrees. I checked mine every 3-5 minutes to see how they were melting. It took about 15-20 minutes for the crayons to fully melt.
(I don't know why blogger is posting this picture sideways...)
After the crayons cooled I just popped them out.
Fun new crayons!
These would be great to give as a Halloween treat for your child's class or tricker treaters (if you don't get a ton of trick or treaters) as an alternative to candy. I think mine will become Christmas gifts for the little ones on my list. :)
