Recycling Crayons!
admin on 01-09-2008

"Broken or worn-down crayons. Muffin tins and a 170-degree oven are all you need, but Stefani has helpful step-by-step instructions over on Teensygreen.

We go through crayons like crazy, and with a family who knows the girls love arts and crafts, they get new boxes of them a lot. While I try to hold off using new crayons, you know how little ones are - as soon as they’re damaged in any way, whether broken or the paper needs to be ripped off - they’re not as “fun” anymore.

Recycling crayons is a fun and very simple project that kids can help out with almost 100%. It’s also a great lesson in color mixing and dexerity (especially if you put your kids to work pulling the paper off!). Of course, parents should always do the cutting up part!"
