Chunky Crayons for Little Hands



I love crayons. I love the look of them, the feel of them in my hand, and the smell of a freshly opened box. I'm a huge nerd, but I'll admit it! However, when you put crayons in the hands of my little people, they break. I've found the best way to involve little guys in making their own, toddler-sized crayons!
Toddler-Sized Crayons
  1. Take the paper off of the crayons and break them into small pieces (Little ones LOVE to help with this!)
  2. Put them into separate muffin tins. They can be separated by color, or mixed together to create neat combinations)
  3. Pop them into the oven, 7-8 minutes at 250. When they are done, stick them into the freezer to harden, then tap them out.
  4. Color away! :)
