So today I ran across an idea on an acquaintance's blog where I am getting some good ideas for things for the boys and this one sparked my interest. She labeled it Rainbow Crayons but it is also a great way to reuse broken or used ones. I always ask my wife how do they continue to make crayons and if the recycling center here will take them because there are so many wasted just at our house alone.
Anyway this idea takes the crayons and melts them down and puts them in cupcake cups to harden. It is a great idea, I know my boys will love it and it finally gives me something to use the linings of my aluminum cupcake shells (they come in very thin paper to keep them seperated.
Instead of using an oven you can also place your crayons in these cups and up them on the dash of your car during a hot day. It works great and saves electricity too. I know it works because this is how I heated up my launch each day when we just got married and I was working. And it also turns any stale donut into a great tasting one too. Oh and since my boys have left them laying on the van floor (which is why you really need to use the cups. :o)
Anyway the link is here.
