How to Make Melted Heart-Shaped Crayons
Make these beautiful heart-shaped crayons from broken and unused crayons you have around the house. Making these crayon hearts is super simple and kids love coloring with their rainbow hearts!
Supplies:
- Broken or unused crayons
- Silicone baking mold with heart shaped cups
Directions:
- Take the paper off the crayons. This takes awhile and you make need to help kids with this step.
2. Cut the crayons into pieces on a cutting board. Kids can try to break the crayons into pieces instead of using a knife to cut them into pieces.
3. Fill each heart in the silicone mold with the crayon pieces. This mold was the perfect size for our heart-shaped crayons.
4. Bake at 250 degrees F for 15-20 minutes until crayons are fully melted. Allow to cool and harden completely before removing from the mold.
