Here’s a great way to use up all those broken crayons.

1.  Preheat oven to 200°

2. Take out any broken crayons, tear of excess paper, and divide them by color. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, mix colors for fun, multi-colored crayons.

Crayon papers make great confetti

3.  Place the broken crayons in a molded, silicone tray (any shape will do).

4.  Place the silicone pan on a cookie sheet in the oven for 20 minutes or until melted.

[Note: ours took a little longer to melt, but many of our broken crayons were jumbo sized]

5.  Let the pan cool for 15 minutes and gently pop the crayons out of the tray.
