Recycle Your Old Crayons For a New Project
December 16th, 2009
I found this idea at Pink and Green Mama. In the past, I have found myself daily throwing away broken pieces of crayons. My children seem to have dozens and dozens of them. What a great way to recycle those broken pieces and give my children a new project.
We carefully peeled off all the paper and broke them into smaller pieces. Then baked them at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. Once they were cooled, this was our masterpiece!
I am going to keep my eye out for other mini muffin pans. This was the only one I had on hand and really wanted to try this project. My sister is a Kindergarten Teacher Assistant and every year after the Christmas Holiday, they replace the old crayons with new ones for the students. At the end of the school year, they always give the students a special gift pack. Imagine the children’s eyes when they see their old crayons. And not to mention, it is a gift the Teachers do not have to spend their personal money on – just their time!
Be sure to send me pics if you create your own!
