Collect discarded, broken, old crayons from around the house (or new crayons for more vibrant colors) and take off the wrappers. It helps to use a knife to make a slit down the crayons to easily peel the wrapper off.
Cut crayons into small sections
Place crayons into silicone mini cupcake mold.
I suppose you could use a metal pan but silicone is much easier to clean up.
Place in a 300 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until melted, checking regularly.
Remove from oven and let the mold cool completely.
Then pop out the new crayons.
Have your resident artist decorate the Valentine's Cards.
Attach crayon in a creative way to decorated card.
Then write a cute quote to finish off the most adorable homemade Valentine's Day Cards. Ever.
We made 24 heart shaped crayons (the number in the mold) and I am so proud on how they turned out. Not as pretty as the original Pinterest picture but they are made with lots of tender loving care. I think I'm more excited to give these away than Olivia (I get to help with her class party tomorrow, yipee). Did not want to give candy away, knowing she'd be getting quite a bit back herself, this was the perfect alternative.
Happy Valentine's Day!
