Before you toss out that
bucket of broken pieces of crayons recycle them
with this tip:
(Guaranteed to be a hit!)
--Preheat your oven to 250 degrees.
Don't forget to ask mom or dad for help :-)
--Remove the paper from all the pieces of crayons.
Clean out a small
flat can,
such as a tuna can, and fill it partially full of crayon
pieces
(Don't worry about the colors.)
Place in the oven for about 20
minutes
until melted and the colors have run together.
(Don't stir, as
you will end up with a yucky mud-colored mess!)
Let cool in the refrigerator until hard.
Pop out this new
BIG
rainbow crayon
