Valentines Day: Crayon Hearts

You don't have to throw away those broken crayons anymore. Recycle them instead! There are so many shapes you can create to make new crayons out of your old crayons. 

1. Peel and break crayons. Kids can be great helpers with the peeling.
Place crayons in a silicone tray. I am using a heart shaped silicone ice tray.

2. Bake at 275 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until completely melted.

3. Allow to cool completely before removing from tray.

Color away!

Recycled crayons make great party favors for birthdays and classrooms as well. 

This year Kaya will be giving her classmates heart crayons for Valentines Day.

I picked up cute little boxes in the dollar bin at Target.

I filled up the boxes with crayons and put them in decorative cello bags.
