Earth Day Craft: Crayon Hearts

Even our favorite crayon colors eventually break, and when that happens it's tempting to just toss them in the garbage. Next time you're cleaning out your kiddo's crayon collection, give the broken crayons a new home with this quick and easy project.

Once you create the crayon hearts, kids can use them as birthday party favors or just a gift for a special friend.

What you'll need:

• Broken crayons
• Silicone mold
• Baking sheet

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Peel the papers from the broken crayons, if necessary.

3. Place the silicone mold onto a baking sheet.

4. Pile the broken crayons into each space of the silicone mold, breaking crayons into small pieces to fit securely inside each space.

5. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the crayons have completely melted.

6. Allow crayons to cool, then pop them out of the mold.
