Making Crayons New Again

I used to teach kindergarten (before Trouble). At the end of the school year I was always left with a huge bucket of old, probably half eaten, crayons. I made those disgusting crayons into 'new' crayons for the next years' class.

Here's a simple way to make old crayons 'new' again.

What you need:

• crayons, paper removed
• a cupcake mold pan, I  am using the silicone kind

What you do:

Arrange broken crayons in the cupcake pan. Don't over fill. I only fill 1/4 of the way up.

Place the cupcake pan on a flat cookie sheet, in a 200 degree oven. Watch carefully! They should take 8-10 minutes to melt, depending on the amount of crayons used. Remove pan when crayons are just melted.

Allow to cool, then remove from pan.
