Valentines craft

Crayon Hearts

This craft is a good way to use up all of those broken crayons we all have lying around!!! My kids love to peel off the paper on the crayons...
  • Total Time Needed:
1-2 Hours
Materials
  • Crayon pieces
  • Heart-shaped metal cookie or muffin tin (our hearts are about 1 1/2 inches across)
  • Scrap paper
  • Double-sided foam mounting tape
  • Scissors
  • Colored card stock
  • Marker
Instructions
  1. Heat the oven to 250°.
  2. Crayon Hearts - Step 2 Fill each mold with crayon pieces and bake until the crayons melt, about 10 to 15 minutes. Tip: Place a sheet pan under the crayons to catch any drips.
  3. Crayon Hearts - Step 3 Once they're cool, remove the hearts from the molds and smooth any rough edges by rubbing them on a piece of scrap paper.
  4. Use small pieces of foam tape to stick each heart to a 3-inch circle cut from card stock -- or use our template, then add your message.

    Suggested messages:
    You color my world

    Have a happy Valentine's Day, for "crayon" out loud!
