These are so easy and so fun! Recycle your crayons.... peel the crayons, break them up, mix colors, etc. I used a mini muffin tin. Place in the oven at 200 for 10min, or until the crayons are melted. Let cool. (cooling usually takes about 2 hours) You can also speed up the cooling by putting them into the freezer. I didn't use any non-stick spray, but I am sure that would help get them out. If they are stubborn- just put the pan into the freezer for 5min, and they will pop right out. The kids love coloring with them. You can also stir the wax once its melted, but we really liked the rainbow effect.
