Fun idea

I came across this fun idea in a magazine.  Take all your broken crayons, peel off the wrappers, and put them in muffin tins.  Stick in the oven at 350 for about 5 minutes (it should still be a little clumpy).  Let cool completely.

Presto! "Bottle cap" crayons. They are really fun because they draw 
multicolored lines. (A few of ours broke- maybe I should melt them a 
little longer next time.)

we tried this a while ago except I called them crayon cookies. The kids were completely disappointed to find out that they were not edible cookies so I think bottle cap crayons is a much better name!! I love the pictures of you guys over at the temple. Beautiful!

What a cute idea! I love that, we'll have to try it. Heaven knows we've got enough old, broken crayons in our house, LOL. :)
