I can't get over how much I love this idea. Not only am I excited about saving a few cents by recycling old broken crayons, but I can see the kids really having a good time making these and then using them.
In my house we find broken crayons in the couch, closets, the playroom - really all over the place. No matter how much we clean, broken crayons seem to reappear. Blog Ten Ten shows how you can take these broken crayons and bake them together to form cookie or cupcake crayons.
The cookies solidified in their pans on the counter (so as not to have liquid crayons running down the sides on my freezer!) and then I popped them in the freezer (Ahhhh!) for about a half hour. They just about jumped out of their little muffin cups and the true artistry could be seen.There are additional pictures, tips, and instructions available at Ten Ten [via Make and Kiddley]
