Craft time!

For a slow afternoon craft, me and the kids decided to make our own crayons. At first the kids thought I was crazy. But in the end they were so excited with their multi colored crayons, they walked away thinking I'm a genius.

We started by finding all the old broken crayons and removing all the paper. Then we broke the crayons up into small pieces.


The kids then picked out the array of colors for their new crayons and we placed them in a mini cupcake tin. I turned the oven on low and placed the tin inside. We baked them for about 10 minutes until they were all melted down. We took them out and put them in the fridge to set.





..............and waaa laaa, we have new mulit colored crayons.


And happy kids!
