While visiting family we were lucky enough to get to spend time with lots of Aubrey's cousins. It was a prefect day to do a neat activity that has something for all ages. I immediately thought about the recycled crayons I've been seeing everywhere. Thanks Phoenix, Braydon, Abigail, and Amelia, for helping Aubrey and I with this activity!
Materials
Cookie sheet or baking cups
Crayons
Not pictured is pam and a little blade
First, the kiddos get to pick out their colors. Make sure to use all of your already broken crayons.
Next, use your exacto knife to make the peeling easy... got that little tip from a friend who did this with her daughter for Christmas! Good thing, because it made it sooo much easier. We slit the paper, and the kiddos peeled it off. Perfect!
Everyone got to break the crayons... even little Amelia (7 mos) got to help out with this step. It was a family favorite!
Next, the kids got to decide which colors they wanted to go together and we just threw it all in, as pictured!
Set the oven temperature to 275 and bake these suckers for 10 minutes.... so simple! We let them cool for a couple minutes before putting them into the refrigerator to speed up the process! There you go, neat recycled crayons!
All the kids seemed to like this one. And using the pan with shapes on it made it so much better! (That pan would make some cute little chocolates.)
