Do you have hundreds of little broken and dirty crayons bits in your crayon box? I am a bit of a crayon snob and like to have fresh, new, pointy crayons for the children. Add to that the fact that I teach preschool Sunday School and I was left with a lot of yucky crayons bits. So instead of pitching them, I divided them by colors, melted them in the microwave and molded them using clear chocolate candy molds. I had to microwave mine for about 8-10 minutes for each batch. There has got to be a better way but the boy's friends each got a new Christmas-y crayon and I got rid of my stash. I saved the red, pink and white ones for Valentine's day.
