Recycling Crayons

We finally put all those broken , tiny ,or half eaten crayons to good use & recycled

them into shiny new rainbow crayons.

First we broke them into tiny pieces , ( Emi enjoyed that the most ) ,

then we filled them into muffin tins & simply melted them in the oven.

After that we let them cool down for about 5 minutes.

Here’s the result, chunky rainbow crayons, great for small hands ,

& they don’t break as easily!
