Upcycled Recycled Projects (pt. 2/Crayons)

 Do your kids break crayons like crazy? Don't toss them; Upcycle them!!
Items needed:
Broken crayons (paper removed)
Mold, cupcake pan, silicone muffin pan, etc.
Wax paper to line pan if not using silicone pan
Oven

Before: (below)

 

I broke crayons into small enough pieces to fill up the little 'Ginger Bread Boy' silicone pan I had lying around. I picked it up at a garage sale years ago and never used it before now!

Preheated oven to 250 degrees. Set silicone pan on cookie sheet for stability.

 

Checked on the boys every 5-10 minutes, took about 25 total to completely melt. 

Then this is what I noticed...

They were half full :(
So, I filled 'em up again!

 Much better!

Aren't they the cutest!!
I am going to give them to my preschool kids with little notes that say,
"For our favorite little people"
Awe :)
