Scarlet LOVES crayons!

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

She loves to BREAK them, and then meticulously peel off their little paper sweaters. What to do with boxes full of broken peeled crayons? Make bigger+better crayons!

We grouped them in like-colors(ish) and baked them at 225.

Tah Dah! Brand new fist size crayons that are SUPER fun to stack or to pretend they are cupcakes and cookies and feed to mom and dad.

P.S. It’s easier to get them out of the muffin tin if you put them in the freezer for a bit–the wax will shrink slightly and they will pop right out. Don’t hand them straight to the kid though–When they are cold they will break easier. (Scarlet cried when she broke one of her new crayon/cookies.)
