For this activity you will need the following:
Broken crayon pieces of multiple colors
Silicone baking cups, which are available at craft stores (these you will only use for crayon making)
A cookie sheet
Preheat oven to 300°. With your child, peel the paper off the broken crayons you’ve accumulated. Place the silicone cups on the cookie sheet, then fill the cups about 1/3 of the way up with the broken pieces of crayon. Be certain that no paper remains on the crayon pieces, and be careful not to drop any crayon pieces onto the cookie sheet.
Bake in oven for approximately 8-10 minutes, until the pieces have melted. Very carefully remove the cookie sheet, so that the hot wax does not spill. Let the new crayons cool in a safe place for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the new multi-colored crayons from the silicone cups, and enjoy coloring with your creations. These can make great gifts too!
