I told you February was low key around here. So I got to do some projects that I’d always thought would be fun to do but never had time to do them. <\/p>\n

Anyone else like me and have this HUGE bucket of crayons where most of them are unusable because they are so small?? Well I did and so many times I saw articles about taking all those little bits of crayons and melting them together into one big crayon. So I did! <\/p>\n

I spent a couple of hours sorting colors and peeling off wrappers. It was a lot of fun and rather relaxing. All the kids got involved at one point and were quite helpful. Here are the results:<\/p>\n

Since I just made these from memory, I’m sure I did them wrong. Although they do color, they only do if you use the bottom. Apparently the color all settled to the bottom and the wax is on top. I guess during the cooling process I should have been stirring them. I think I baked them too long in the oven. I think I would have made them smaller because really, you can’t color in the lines with these big ole’ things. <\/p>\n

But all in all the experience was fun and now we have some pretty cool looking crayons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
