Crafty Fun!

So the kids were absolutely bored today. I remember seeing this fun project on my friend Melissa's blog a little while back. I remember telling myself I think the kids would enjoy something like that, and I wanted to try it!! You know those crayons that break or get highly used and then no one wants to have anything to do with them anymore? Well who ever came up with this idea I LOVE it!! I sent the girls on a hunt to gather every crayon they could find that was broken and hard to use. There were more than I imagined! They peeled off the paper and then cut them into pea sized pieces. This actually took a little while to do but with them being board earlier this kept them busy for a while and they didn't seem to mind. They used an old muffin tin and covered the bottom of each muffin cup with the pieces of crayons. We then put them in the oven to slightly melt. I had some small distractions I actually let them go longer than I wanted. Some of the colors mixed together. We let them cool and harden and then just popped them out of the tin! Super Easy!! For the most part they turned out pretty well and the girls loved them!! Makell was down for a nap so she missed out on the fun but she sure liked using them to color with. I think these will be the "official" church crayons. If they spill you only have to pick up one and not the whole box!!!
