You Melt My Heart Crayons

Prep Time: 5 minutes Hands on Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:
crayons
muffin tin (we used a heart shaped one)

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
Gather up any crayon pieces you can find (new crayons work, too) and peel off the paper wrappers. If you are using a high quality crayon, like Crayola, put the crayons in a bowl of warm water and within minutes the paper peels will loosen themselves from the crayon. We found cheaper crayons don’t have the same effect in the warm water and can often start melting in the bowl, in your hands…a big mess. Peel those papers off by hand. Break larger crayons into small pieces and fill each mold with crayon pieces. We used a mini heart mold tin but any size or shape tin will work. Put a sheet pan under the crayon filled tin to catch any stray drips. Bake until the crayons melt, about 10-15 minutes. Let them cool completely before removing from the molds. If there are any rough edges, rub the crayons on a piece of paper to smooth out them out.
