Crazy Crayons

Toddlers + crayons = lots of broken bits that are really hard to color with.  We try to find uses for just about everything to avoid throwing them away into the giant landfill we call planet Earth.  Here's a cute and easy idea of just what to do with all of those crayon pieces.  Preheat the oven to 225 degrees. Take all of the paper off each crayon piece. ( While you're at it, be sure to put the paper into the recycling bin.)  Put all the crayon bits into a bowl.  Take a nonstick mini muffin pan and fill the compartments with the crayons.  Bake for 10-15 minutes. (my oven to closer to 15).  Cool completely in the pan and turn over to pop them out.  Now you have crayons that look cool and won't break easily.  It's CRAZY!
