What You'll Need to Make the Crayon Hearts:
- Various crayon bits and pieces
- Tin Foil
- A frying pan or griddle (something flat that you can heat on the stove)
- A heart-shaped mold (Mine was an "ice cube tray" I found for $1 at a dollar store)
What You Do:
Remove any paper that may still be lingering on the crayon.
Make a bowl or boat shape out of a small piece of tin foil. Place the crayons into the tin foil bowl, and place the bowl on the frying pan. Melt the crayons over low-medium heat.
Pour crayon wax into the heart-shaped mold and let cool (Place in the freezer for about 3-5mins if you are in a hurry).
Pop out the new heart-shaped crayon, and attach to your valentine!
NOTE: I formed a pour spout on one end of the tin foil bowl to make pouring into the molds easier. I also used like colors to melt with each other just because I wanted them to end up looking happy and festive. Mixing lots of colors together will result in a dark looking crayon and kids might think they're chocolate and try to eat them!
