I came up with another project for the kids and I to do utilizing our over abundance of crayons.
For this project I used a cookie sheet from the Dollar Store. We then put broken up crayons (wrappers removed) on the cookie sheet and put it in a preheated oven at 225 degrees. They were melted after about 10 minutes.
Next we removed the pan from the oven and started putting different objects into the melted crayon mixture that we had laying around the house (wooden hearts, stars and sequins) and then we sprinkled glitter over the entire project.
You need to act pretty quick when placing your objects because the crayon mixture cools and hardens fairly quick.
This was a very easy project and I think this is a cool piece of artwork!
For another idea to use old crayons read about another project we did here!
Motherhood Is An Art 
I like it a lot Melissa! this is a great idea to do with your kids! I’m sure they had fun & I love how you displayed it ; a nice piece of art!
Thank you so much Ingrid! It was a fun and easy project for us!
Your kids lives will be full of color and love. Wonderful!
Thank you Colleen!
Looks very cool.
Thank you Larry!
So tell my gorgeous have you purchased another house to store all the crafty things you and the kids make? Where the dickens do you put everything? 🙂 x
This is clearly a problem Jen! Our house is extremely overcrowded and purchasing a 2nd one is not a bad idea! I don’t think the husband will go for it though! I take pictures of all of our projects and art and then after awhile when we have new things to replace them I put the old ones away in their memory boxes! Our basement is overflowing with all of the things I save!!
Love it. We did something similar with old crayons and a canvas (glued down the pieces and used a hair dryer to melt them down the canvas). Always fun to melt crayons!
I was happy to get rid of some the crayons too! It’s amazing how many you accumulate with 3 kids!
and how quickly they break them! (or maybe that’s just my crazy kids) 🙂
You’ve the most interesting ideas!
Oh, thank you so much!!
That is indeed a cool piece of artwork! LOVE it! I will definitely be doing this with my Emma. You did it again Melissa! You’ve inspired me!!
Thanks Lidia! Well, I’m glad I could inspire you…you certainly inspire me with all of your wonderful food!
Oh, this would have been right up MY mother’s alley. Of course, she probably would have skipped the glitter and embellishments so that we could eat it. Seriously. We always ate the crayons we melted onto paper plates in the sun. Perhaps that’s why we’re all screwy — every last one of us! (I swear on my life — I am the sanest one!) Non-toxic, my ass!
I still can’t believe she let you eat them…I remember you telling me that when I posted my other crayon art! Well, your sister sounds pretty sane to me….Meowy Christmas!
