SAVE THE CRAYONS! DIY Microwave Crayons

I hated throwing out the poor crayons that have been left at the bottom of the bucket. You know, the sad broken, chipped, and speckled ones? I always felt like it was a waste. You buy a pack of crayons to only use 1/3 of them? WASTE OF CREATIVE TOOLS.

Well now you can save your broken crayons to make BIGGER excitng new shaped crayons! All you need is a microwave, a SILICONE mold, and the crayons. Its a great project to do with the kids. At my job, I made these crayons carefully with a small group of kids and they went nuts for it! They had so much fun breaking up the crayons into smaller pieces, making awesome color schemes, and the best part was watching it melt in the microwave.

Check out my video!
Much love,
