Happy Muslim Mama: Cupcake Crayons

So I got the kids to clear out all of the broken bits of crayon from their colouring pencil/crayon box and take the paper covers off (I had to stop them from getting too carried away and breaking the whole ones).

Being very anal, I got the kids to sort the bits of crayons into the cake cases by colour.

We then stuck them into the oven at a medium heat (to Little Man’s cries of “when can I eat them!?!”). You have to keep an eye on them as they melt very quickly and I think we left them in too long as they turned very watery. I left them to cool and they turned hard. The colours are not as intense as ordinary crayons, but they were fun and easy to make and the children were very pleased with their creation.
