DIY Valentine Heart Crayons

Broken crayons are such a hassle unless there’s a cute and fun way to put them to use. Just like the DIY pumpkin crayons I showed you in the fall, you can make unique and adorable heart crayons for Valentine’s Day with just a couple of supplies. It’s a great craft for kids of all ages and the end result is even more fun. Here’s what you need:

Supplies

Heart shaped candy mold (Michaels or Walmart)
Broken crayons, paper removed (cut large ones up into pieces about 1/2″ long–I used white, pink, red, red-violet and purple)

Directions

Preheat oven to 230 degrees.

Peel paper from crayons and cut or break them up into tiny pieces, about 1/4″-1/2″ long. Fill up each heart with the pieces.

Place on a baking sheet and bake at 230 degrees for 15-17 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for about 30 minutes.

Once your crayons have cooled and hardened, they’re ready for coloring!
