Valentine Crayons

Avery & I made heart shaped crayons out of old broken crayons. The teacher in me LOVES the ease of this project & the fact that it's a hands on lesson on recycling. :) I highly recommend this easy & fun project!

Step 1: Gather up some old crayons & a heart shaped muffin pan.

 

Step 2 {the most time consuming step}: Peel crayons & break into pieces small enough to fit into the hearts. 

It took us a while to peel the crayons. Avery was very patient during this tedious step!

Step 3: Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until crayons have melted.

Step 4: Allow pan to completely cool & remove crayons carefully with butter knife.

 

Step 5: Enjoy you new {recycled} crayons!
