Melted Crayons

I started collecting broken crayons last year and decided today was the day for the kids to make their own crayons! Take off all of the wrappers (I swear this takes the most time) and break into smaller pieces. Then put cupcake wrappers in a cupcake pan and fill with one layer of crayons of your choosing. JJ and I stuck to particular color palates, but the little ones picked whatever colors they wanted. Put in a 350 degree over for about 6 minutes, or until melted. After taking them out of the oven I put marbles on the sides (outside of the cupcake wrappers) to make hearts for Little Miss and on both sides for JT for bows. This way they also knew which was theirs. I then put them outside to cool and reharden.
