Colors of love

We made some heart shaped crayons to celebrate Valentine's day. I got the heart tray at Target, of course. It worked really well and the crayons popped right out. I was hoping I could use the tray for muffins or something afterwards, but there was a layer of wax in each heart that I couldn't get out. We'll just keep the tray to make heart crayons on future Valentine's Days.

Here's how we made them:

1) Spencer helped me find 3-4 crayons of each color. We peeled off the paper and broke each crayon into 3 or 4 pieces.

2) Spencer put the matching colors in each heart (we used different shades of the same color and I think it turned out really cool)

3) We baked them at 350 for about 10 minutes. I put the silicone tray on a cookie sheet because it added more stability. I didn't want to mess with a wobbly tray full of hot wax.

4) We let them cool probably an hour before coloring with them.

Warning: these babies made the house really stinky. Make sure to bake some cookies afterwards to mask the smell. Cookies and coloring, it doesn't get much better than that.
