hi! everyone likes crayons! but when they break, they're basicly unusable :( but don't throw them in the trash, reuse them! you can learn how to make these wonderful heart shaped crayon blobs! (thats what i call em, blobs.). you probably have some lying around at home, and all you need to make these, are a tart pan, crayons, and an oven (don't forget to wear oven mitts, ouch!). here are the instructions:

Use an oven safe baking mold and fill them up with the crayon pieces.

Bake at 300 degree for 15 minutes (or until completely melted- mine took about 25 minutes). I took the pic above halfway through the baking process so you can see what begins to happen to them. Bake until they are completely liquid and be careful when removing from oven so you don’t spill them!

Let sit for a few hours until completely cool. And I mean completely. I removed one a little early and it broke…and Jackson was pretty bummed. Once cool, they pop out of the mold very easily and you are left with these adorable crayons.

what a great idea! if you want, you could even use other types of pans, and mold, to make bigger crayons, or make other cool shapes!
