Do you have a box of old crayons? This might be a fun project for a snow day! It will require close adult supervision because of the hot wax. Old crayons make great new crayons. This would be a good project for a wide variety of age groups. I have always made recycled crayons in muffin tins but after a little search on the Internet I found out crafters use candy molds and cookie cutters, too. The photos show your child's Valentine card (shhh...keep it a secret, please!) I used my Tupperware Popsicle mold and attached a return address label to the stick. Because of the layered colors, these were a little time consuming but they were great fun to create plus the molds cleaned up nicely!
Also, check out the Crayola website for some fun FREE coloring pages. There are pages with Disney fairies and princesses, Pixar Cars, Mickey Mouse, mosaics and much more!
