I'mmmmm Melting! Crayons that is!
So far this winter, the South has been blanketed with more snow and ice than normal. Personally, I enjoy seeing the white precipitation covering the trees and creek - it slows down our lives just enough! As I have gotten older in age, I enjoy being at home more and more.
One activity we did during a recent snowfall was to melt crayons. I will admit, we had to actually break our crayons - most crayons were unbroken.
So we snapped and broke our crayons into small pieces.
Mix them into a mini muffin tin sprayed with cooking spray.
Melted in a low temperature (250/275 degrees) oven for a few minutes. Watch after 5 minutes. It took our crayons about 12 minutes to completely melt. Keep a watchful eye on them.
Allow them to cool. I took a butter knife and gently pushed them out.
I just LOVE the multitude of colors! Enjoy!
