You can make beautiful new crayons from your old, broken ones with little effort. Even the older mini monsters - who actually never use wax crayons anymore - want to colour with these beautiful crayons. Because tomorrow is Earth Day, we start today, then they will be definitely ready tomorrow!
How to recycle old wax crayons
Preheat the oven to 125°C
Chop or grate the crayons.
Put in some white or silver.
Fill up with green and blue.
Put the mold into the oven.
Melt the crayons in 15 minutes.
Allow to cool a couple of hours.
You can put the cooled mould in the refrigerator, to make the crayons set faster
Press the wax crayons out of the mould.
If you pack the crayons in a bag you can dole them out :))
Happy Earth Day and have fun with the crayons!
