Here are five creative and colourful ideas for those little nubs.
Crayon Candles
Adventures in Making
Candles, of course!
A fun way to reuse those old broken crayon pieces.
They can be customized for specific events or holidays by just choosing the right colour combinations (ie.
red and green for Christmas; pink and red for Valentines, etc).
But keep in mind, these crayon candles are best kept unlit so more for decor purposes.
And with autumn around the corner, these leaf-shaped ones by Kiwi Crate are so nice.
Im envisioning this craft being done at one of my little ones upcoming birthday parties.
Adorable dinosaur templates are included with this post but any shape can be used.
When done, using the little crayon rocks also helps the kids to develop their fine motor control.
And no melting required!
It reminds us of a colourful puzzle that wed want to hang on our walls.
The texture from the varying lengths of crayons is simply fantastic!
In what other ways have you recycled your old crayons?
