How To: Recycle Crayons

Recycled Crayons, Crayon Cookies, or “Magic” Crayons.  

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Remove paper from broken crayons (Have kids help! Soak difficult crayons in water to help remove paper).

3. Fill a silicone baking pan with the broken crayon pieces(this pan will be dedicated to art projects from now on). Fill them with mixed colors for a rainbow look or all the same shade, theme colors for holidays, be creative!

4. Bake until melted. In my oven with the amount of crayons I used, it took about 8 minutes 

Carefully remove the pan and allow the crayons to COMPLETELY cool in order to harden. Warning: Your house will smell of burnt crayons. This is normal, don't invite guests over for a few hours!

Did you change the shapes of your crayons by using a different pan?
