I got a huge bag of crayons through someone with my local freecycle. And I had a lot of fun. Tiger talked me into using the mini muffin tin. I was thinking I'd rather use a regular size, but he insisted that the smaller size would be better for little hands. I am very pleased with the results, so I'm glad I listened to him! I got the idea from a blog called My Magic Mom.
I broke the crayons into thirds (kinda hurts after you've been snapping them into pieces for a while) and put them into the tin. Then I put them into the oven heated to 270 degrees for 7 minutes.
So pretty! I put them into the fridge to help them cool faster.
I just love the way the colors combined!
Ash couldn't keep her little mitts off of them!
So, of course, I shared. :)
I bagged up the rest to give as gifts with some of those cute, little Dover coloring books. And this picture is not all of them. I have a TON!!! Should I do another giveaway with some? ;)

I love this idea! I've been meaning to make some for my niece, who is a big coloring fan! (I've heard she's won 2 coloring contests lately - pretty good for a 2 year old!) I like the idea of just using a mini muffin pan instead of fancy molds like I've seen in other tutorials!
What a great idea!
