Molded Crayons

A great party gift is to make themed molded crayons to hand out to guests. The best part is you can recycle all your old and broken crayons laying around the house.

  1. First find a mold to fit your party. Molds are labeled as silicone molds, primarily used for candy making.  Here are some cute ones: Lego mold, princess mold, or the dinosaur mold I used.
  2. Collect all of your old broken crayons, remove the paper, and sort by color (optional).dino_crayons2
  3. Preheat your oven to 225 degrees.
  4. Place the crayons into your mold by color, fitting as many in as possible.
  5. Put into the oven until melted (5-8 minutes) take out and allow them to completely cool before removing from the mold.dino_crayons1dino_crayons3
