First we took old, broken crayons and peeled the wrappers. Next we broke them into smaller pieces. Then we put them into muffin tins and melted them in the oven, let them harden again and viola-rainbow crayons.

Color Your World
Ella and I enjoyed a little art project while McKenna was at school. Ella has always enjoyed peeling the wrappers off of crayons so I incorporated that into my planning.

You are so creative and crafty! Thanks for the great idea!
I got that idea from somewhere else!
I've seen this idea in magazines before but never tried it. It would be a good way to use up some of the old crayons I have from my parents' house. I have made candles in sand with old crayons at camp though before. You use the sand as the mold and the kids can make their handprint or footprint.
