The Circle Crayon Adventure


So an Internet friend of my told me how to make circle crayons, so we decided to try it on Sunday. We got some cheap crayons, and cut off the wrappers. Char helped a ton with this part. Heidi Anne helped by keeping a close eye on the crayons. She was very confused as to why we would take the wrappers of the crayons.
Next we broke the crayons into smaller pieces, greased muffin cups, and then sorted our crayons, mixing and matching colors. Heidi Anne loved this part.
You can see our pretty mix of broken crayons.
Now you bake them for about 5-7 mins at 250 F. When your done they look like this..so let them cool awhile. We let it set for about 90 mins. Then they looked like this (the paper plate pic).

She loves them!!!
