The first thing we are going to show is what we do with our crayon bits. I am sure there are many that already know about this or have a different way of doing it. This is the method we have found that works best for us:
Start by removing any paper from your crayons.
The mini pan we fill to the top.
Now it is time to bake. We bake then at 300 F for about 10-15 minutes. You don't have to worry to much about the time or temp. You just need them to melt. Play around with the temp or amount of time needed melt if you want, we have found this methond works best for us.
Carefully remove your melted bits. The back side isn't very pretty, but you will be very happy with the front. It should take about 10-15 minutes for the pan to cool down.
They are very easy to store. The disks can be used as party favors, part of a coloring gift, make leaf rubbings with, and whatever else you can think of.
We have found that the Crayola brand of crayon works best. Have tried other brands of crayons and they just don't color very well after being baked. Sometimes you may have to push a little hard to get them started because they come out very smooth.
