How Do You Make Toddler Crayons at Home?

Making your own toddler crayons at home is a fun and simple project! Here's a step-by-step guide using a muffin pan:

Supplies You'll Need

Here's how you can make your own crayons:

Prepare the Crayons: Begin by removing the paper wrappers from the old crayons. Then, break the crayons into small pieces. This helps them melt more evenly. For a more exciting result, consider using scented or glitter crayons.
Arrange in Muffin Pan: Place the broken crayon pieces into the muffin pan. Each circle should be filled at least half full. This ensures you have a good amount of melted crayon to form a new, larger crayon.
Bake the Crayons: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, place the muffin pan in the preheated oven.
Remove From Pan: Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Once they've cooled, the new crayons should pop right out.

Variety: Experiment with different color combinations by mixing various crayon pieces in the same muffin cup.
Safety First: Always supervise children during the process, especially around the hot oven and the hot muffin pan.
Muffin Pan: Consider using a silicone muffin pan, as it makes it easier to pop out the crayons when they are done.
Cooling Time: Allow the crayons to cool completely before attempting to remove them from the pan. This helps prevent breakage.
