Making Crayons
August 3rd, 2006
I found the most interesting post about making crayons. Now this is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. So when looking for something to do with my kiddos I often check this site. I found on that day (Tuesday) there was a link to here. Well the kids and I have been saving crayon bits for awhile now in hopes of making some new crayons from the old. It was a wonderful project to do. My preschooler was wonderful at pulling off the paper (small hands can do wonderful small work). But I will say this, those crayon cookies are huge. I found I needed to cut them to get them small enough to use.

I used to teach preschool and we would have the children make crayons. The peeling of the paper is good for develping fine motor and the crayons make beautiful rubbings. A lot of fun!
