Crazy Crayons





So here is the first project I did with my girls.

You need:

Crayons
Disposable small bread pan
And Adult supervision

You can use any mold, like cupcakes pan, mini cupcakes work great, but I used bread pan (that's what I had)

-Remove all the paper of the crayons and put them in the bread pan as you would like.
-Mix and match colors, remember that dark colors over take, so mix them up good.
-Preheat oven to 275 for about 10 minutes.
-Place the pan in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, don't stir the crayons until you see that everything is melted.
-Remember to be creative and to let you children experiment with mixing colors..
-Important: use cupcake liners when using you cupcake pan.. Use at least 2 to 3 liners per cupcake. Please wash your pans after each use.
-Please be careful when removing them from the oven and place them in a safe place to cool. It takes about 1 hours for cooling.
-Remove them carefully and cut with sharp knife if desire. Like I said, mini cupcake pan works the best, they are already small enough.

Hope you enjoy doing this project with your kids and they are fun to color with..

Okay I LOVE this and they would make great gifts for kids who are battling cancer. That's what my charity is about. People like you and many others are Jumpers and they send gifts to those battling cancer in hopes of lifting their spirits. If you might like this idea let me know we would love someone with your creativity on our team!

Stopping by from SITS wanted to let u know about a Giveaway we are hosting to help raise funds Spirit Jump (a gift giving charity sending cards/gifts to people battling cancer)

Really beautiful jewelery up for grabs
