Multicolored leaf crayons make charming gifts when attached to homemade cards with glue dots. The crayons also look inviting sitting in a bowl, waiting to color an autumnal scene.
Materials
- crayons in fall colors (red, orange, yellow, and green)
- leaf-shaped candy or cooking mold (silicone is best)
- foil-covered baking sheet
Instructions
- Collect crayons in fall colors (red, orange, yellow, and green). Peel and break the crayons into small pieces.
- Fill the leaf-shaped cavities of a candy or cooking mold (silicone is best) with the crayon pieces.
- Place the mold on a foil-covered baking sheet, and melt the crayons in a 180˚ oven for about 15 minutes. Remove the mold from the oven, and let the crayons cool before popping them out.*
Tips:
To speed up the cooling time, place the mold in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.
