Confession: I have more broken crayon bits in my house than actual whole crayons. It goes something like this – We get a new pack of crayons, the kids use them once or twice, 2/3 of them break and all of those broken pieces end up somewhere in the abyss. And because apparently no one in my family knows how to clean up after themselves, I would end up finding these little crayon pieces all over the place and at some point I decided that enough was enough. I grabbed an old shoe box and started putting all the broken crayons I came across in there….and there they have sat, collecting dust, for several years.
I was at the store recently and found a really cute bunny mold. I thought it would be super cute to make new crayons out of and that’s exactly what I did. I took out the box of old crayons and got to work making some bunny crayons with the kids. It’s a fun Easter activity to do with the kids and they seriously could not be easier to make!
DIY Bunny Crayons
Here’s what you need:
- Easter Bunny Candy Mold
- Broken Crayons
Here’s what you do:
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
2. Peel the paper off the crayons and make sure they are broken into very small pieces.
3. Fill each bunny mold with different colors, or your own color choices.
4. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes or completely melted.
5. Remove from oven and let cool completely and pop out of molds.
6. Color Away!
Have you ever made your own crayons? If not, now might be an awesome time to start. With Easter coming up in a few weeks, now is a perfect time to get yourself a mold and make these cute Bunny Crayons.
