When I asked Logan what he wanted to give his teachers as a thank you, he enthusiastically said "CRAYONS". I couldn't see myself handing the teachers a box of Crayolas, so I had to get creative.
Why not MAKE crayons? (I said in my head)
Super simple AND super fun!

| Peel your old crayons and break them into small pieces. |

| just pretty |
 |
| I sprayed both a silicone baking mold (squares) and a metal tart tin (circles) with Pam cooking spray and started dropping in crayons. Logan was serious about creating color combos he liked. |
 |
| Ready to go in the oven. I put them in at 300 degrees and watched them closely. 7-10 minutes depending on metal vs. silicone. |
 |
| This pic is about halfway through cooking. Once the lumps are gone and they look melted, pull them out and let them cool completely. I used a toothpick to swirl the colors a bit before they set. |
BEAUTIMOUS! Such a fun project that the kiddos can help with.
