Reusing Crayons

I love this tip on reusing crayons. We go through them like crazy, or they get broken and so on.

Oven Method

1. Preheat your oven to 275ºF / 140ºC.
2. Gather your broken crayons and peel the paper off of them. Break any large crayon pieces so that none are longer than an inch (2.5 cm) long.
3. Sort the crayons into piles with the same color in each pile.
4. Line the cups of a muffin tin with aluminum foil or baking cups. Place crayon pieces in each cup of the muffin tin. You can use one color per cup or combine colors.
5. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake it for approximately 10 minutes. Remove the tin from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
6. Take each cup out and remove the paper or foil from your new crayons.
