How to Make Melted Crayons

Save your old and broken crayons! Learn How to Make Melted Crayons.

How to Make Melted Crayons

Do you have a bunch of broken or old crayons around the house? Instead of tossing them, consider making melted crayons with the crayons! My girls saw a video about making melted crayons on YouTube Kids and we went to our art shelf and pulled out as many broken crayons as we could find. Then, we broke them down into even smaller pieces and melted them into these beautiful crayons! This activity is perfect for kids to help out with – breaking the crayons, placing the small cupcake liners in the pan, and even removing the crayons once they’ve cooled and finally, coloring with them!

***Warning: Moms, you’ll want to make sure you take care of all of the oven work if your child isn’t old enough to use an oven!***

How to Make Melted Crayons

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Old or broken crayons (a variety of colors, paper removed)
