Making Crayons

Peel the paper off old crayons and break them into pieces!

Choose which colors you want and place them in the muffin tin!

Put them in the oven at 250 degrees for 10 minutes.  If you let them go too long the colors will melt together and mix into one color (usually black). Take them out and let them cool.  Remove papers.

Ta Da!

While your waiting for the crayons to melt, read "The Crayon Box That Talked".
