Unbreakable Crayons

Hello all! I have been less than faithful in my posting, I know! I apologize. And this isn't a real whats-going-on post either. There is one coming.

I just wanted to share a new-ish discovery of mine.

When I was a kid, we would take our crayon stubs and melt them down in cupcake papers, to make little rainbow crayons. Lots of fun, and a good way to take care of waste.

Well, I have a pair of little girls who seem to take great joy in breaking our crayons into unusable size pieces. Having grown weary of rainbow crayons, I came up with the idea of melting down individual color crayons in mini muffin pans (with mini muffin liners).

The result is a chunky little crayon that is nearly impossible to break. Please note that I said nearly. Have fun!
