Making Cool Crayons

For Easter Riley and I made some great multicolor crayons for presents. Here's how you can make some too.

What you need:

• crayons
• metal cookie cutters (unpainted)
• cookie sheet with sides
• aluminum foil
• oven pre-heated to 250 degrees

1. Collect all your broken (or in our case new for the project) crayons, unwrap them and break them into pieces.

2. Line your cookie sheet with a couple layers of aluminum foil. Then arrange your cookie cutters on the aluminum foil and fill them with assorted crayon pieces.

3. Place cookie sheet in preheated oven. Check after 5 minutes, and then every few minutes, until the crayons are melted. Remove the crayons from the oven and allow to cool for an hour or two. Do not mix or stir the melted crayons.

4. Carefully push crayons out of the cookie cutters and use them to draw fun multi-colored art.
