35 Uses for Crayons

Having 2 teenage boys, I remember what it was like to have bins of crayon pieces everywhere. My youngest, when he was little, loved everything to do with coloring and crayons. Problem was he hated the small bits of crayons, so I was always buying new packs and all the pieces kept growing and growing. I never knew of the ideas that are out there today. I finally made letter shapes out of the crayons and spelt his name.

I shaped tin foil in the shape of letters and broke up the pieces even smaller. I then baked the tin foil letter on a cookie sheet at 225F for about 15 minutes. (check often). They turned out great. I wish I had pictures but this was 10 years ago.
