This is a fun activity. We have done it with the kids and scout groups. They all had a blast.

What you will need:
Broken Crayons
Heavy paper cups
Assorted molds
Oven mitt

What to do:
1. Remove all paper from crayons. Put the crayons in the heavy paper cups. You can mix colors or just do one color.
2. Place one cup in the microwave. Cook on high for 4-6 minutes or until the crayons are completely melter.
3. Using an oven mitt, have an adult carefully pour the melted crayon wax into candy molds. Throw the used cup away.
4. Place the candy molds in the freezer for 20 minutes until the wax is hard.
5. Pop cool crayons out of the candy molds and color.
*If your microwave has a glass tray, let it cool down after 15 minutes of use. The tray must be allowed to cool one hour to prevent burns to the user; and to prevent damage to the glass tray.
*Heavy paper cups must be microwave safe.
