Crayola hearts

A couple of years ago I read in Family Fun about how to make crayon heart valentines. We made them for Anna and Lauren's classes, as well as mine. They were a hit!

When we moved, the girls found the molds. Since it is summer and we like to do things on the cheap, we made some for ourselves. First, the girls peeled the paper off of the colors they wanted to use and broke them in pieces.



They arranged the pieces in the mold, and then we put it in a 250 degree oven. I don't exactly know how long it was, since we watched it. I'm guessing around ten minutes. We pulled them out when they were completely melted.






We let them cool completely and popped them out. That was the hardest part of the whole process! And now, the girls have their own custom crayons.
