How to make crayons
1. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees (celsius)
2. Peel the paper off the crayons and make sure they are broken into very small pieces.
3. Fill each bunny mold with different colours, or your own colour choices.
4. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes until the crayons are completely melted.
5. Remove from oven and let cool completely and pop out of moods.
6. Colour Away!
Experiment with different crayon colour combinations and try using different moulds. This is such a fun way of using up old crayons.
