I read about this on a message board so I decided to give it a try…
Started the oven at 300F and started filling 4 muffin cups with broken crayons… 10 minutes later the crayons were melted… we watched (or tried to watch) though the oven door to see the crayons melt and Xavier thought it was cool…
Then we took them out and looked at them a bit before we put them in the freezer to set…
They looked really cool but I am not really hapy with the way they turned out… I am not sure that it was because the broken crayons were cheap… or we did something wrong but they didn’t colour much…
It was still a cool experiment though… and I think that I will be trying again with some good old crayola’s…
Definitely go with the crayolas – some colors of the cheap ones work great but it’s so hit and miss. I’ll definitely have to give that a shot myself, I think Michael will love it. I’m going to try it out with some of the silicone icecube trays I have from Ikea.
I’ve been loving so much of the stuff you’ve been sharing! Thanks for lots of great ideas.
Cool idea. I think Lily would love to try that!
Thanks! I feel like I can have more fun sharing with my new blog name… 🙂
the ice cube trays sound like a great idea!
