Here's A Great Idea For Old, Broken Crayons!

Crayons aren't exactly cheap; so don't throw away your kids old broken crayons. If your looking for uses for a collection of broken crayons, try the following craft projects with your kids, and consider the other great uses listed here. These ideas and uses for old broken crayons are so much fun you'll be waiting for the new crayons to break. No one will believe these fun craft projects for kids were made using old crayons, and you'll recycle useful things that would otherwise end up in the trash.

Rainbow Discs

Turn your kids old broken crayons into fun rainbow colored discs. Have your kids help remove the paper from their old broken crayons, and randomly arrange them in paper lined muffin tins.

Heat them in a 250-degree oven until the wax is melted and smooth. Let the discs cool completely inside the paper lined muffin tin. After they’re cool, peel back the paper, and give your kids colorful crayon discs made from their old broken crayons.

Do your kids love glitter crayons? Help your kids make a set of rainbow glitter discs by having them sprinkle glitter in the muffin cups before placing them in the oven. The finished rainbow discs will be embellished with flecks of shiny glitter.
