chunky crayons for kids
contributed by gayla
We know how quickly kids can break crayons, here is a wonderfull idea. Place a variety of colors in a mini muffin tin and melt in the oven. Cool. This makes a uniquely colored " Fat crayons" with which the kids can scribble. I am making for my Grands for Easter baskets
Makes a wonderful stocking stuffer at Christmas- plus a good use of "trash"- if your into candle making, you can also add a hunk of crayon to your melted light colored wax to tint it up!!

Use the character shape small cake tins or cupcake tins to give individuality. may want to spray with cooking oil to keep from sticking but should not have that problem because of the nature oil content of wax. just an idea.
