Rainbow Crayons

Gather together a rainbow of crayons. This is a great way to dispose of many broken or almost-finished ones sitting at the bottom of the toy chest.

Heat the oven to 350ºF/ 180ºC.

Remove the paper from the crayons. Break up all of the crayons into small pieces if they're not already small. You can also shave them with an old cheese grater for a finer consistency.

Place the pieces into cupcake holders.

Place the filled cupcake holders on a pan. Put in the oven.

Remove using oven mitts when the crayons are completely melted. This will take around 2 - 6 minutes, depending on the melted consistency you're after; keep an eye on them.

Let them cool for approximately 30 minutes. Once cooled, remove from the cupcake holder; they're now ready for reuse.
