Heart Crayons

Thanks to my Swiss heritage, I can be incredibly thrifty. I try to save and reuse whatever I can. This craft is perfect for all those little broken-off pieces of crayon that can collect in the crayon box. (Kate, bless her heart, loves to break her crayons, so I had pieces a-plenty!) We found a silicone heart-shaped muffin tin at Target for all of $2.50, filled each heart with crayon pieces (with paper removed, of course), and popped it in the oven at 250 degrees. Voila! Twelve minutes later, plus some cooling time, and all our broken crayon pieces had been transformed into new works of beauty.
