So what do you do with all of these broken crayons?
Why have a date night of course (keep reading)!

During the day Snow White helped me
peel all these crayons.
She enjoyed it.
I did NOT!
Snow White LOST INTEREST.
So, after the girls were in bed,
Prince Charming and I decided to make this
crazy color crayon thing a Date night.
He loved smashing and breaking the crayons
and I loved placing them in greased tins
(this neat tin I found at a second hand store.
Anyone know what it is really for?)

We enjoyed watching them melt in the
275 degrees oven for 8 minutes.
Then we carefully took them out and let them cool.
A few did not want to come out of the pan,
so we stuck the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes
and they popped out like a charm!
Now wont this be a wonderful basket
to have ready on the art shelf in the morning!
I sure want to COLOR with them!

Don’t worry,
I did save some crayons to let the children do a few.
I’m sure they will just LOVE watching them melt!
This super idea came from a magazine in my doctor’s office about 5 months ago. I was reminded of it when I saw it again HERE

Very cute - I like how they are like rings. I made regular recycled crayons in muffin tins for my son's 2nd birthday but they came out too waxy. Your look ALOT nicer - great job! :)

That pan looks like a doughnut pan to me - you can make baked donuts in the oven...yum!!

Neat idea, one never really knows what to do with all the broken crayons, now there is an idea!
As for the tin, I have 2 except mine look a little bigger, I make mini individual cakes. Looks really nice when entertaining!
