Crayon shapes from broken/melted crayons PIP
During naptime, I amde butterfly crayons using broken/melted crayons.
I have seen a few ways of doing this - but I did it by putting the broken crayons in a disposable pan and melting. Once melted (and cooled a bit), I took a cookie cutter to make the shapes.
It was really easy, but took a long time.
I wrote a whole blog post about it with ore pictures and "tips". But, here are some of the completed product.

I am putting them in goodie bags, so I made up this little poem:
They look so cool
They look so neat
But, these are crayons
So, please do NOT eat.

So cute! I saw some on Pinterest (I think) recently where the person had purchased some of those silicone baking or ice cube trays that were shaped like Leggos and Leggo guys.
I really like the idea in general!
