Make these bright colored crayon pucks — muffin tin crayons, using all those broken crayons (or new ones if you want). Three year olds and older enjoy this activity, and it’s simple to make — no mess either. Take the time to tell your kids about Primary colors and complimentary colors.
Here’s what you need:
Crayons
Muffin tin, spray with Pam or other spray oil
Heat oven to 275 degrees F
First, peel the wrapper off the crayons and break them up. Sort them into interesting color combinations. You can talk about Primary colors and complimentary colors, using a color wheel.
Put the crayon pieces in the tins, but don’t fill them to the top, just cover the bottom.
Place the tin in the oven for about 15 minutes, checking to see when they have melted.
Don’t use washable crayons, they will not work.
