Easter Crafts

We have also tried to do some Easter Crafts this week. Nick had seen some were recently a crayon toy that melts crayons to make new crayons. Well I looked for it but could not find it and so I thought maybe we could make our own by peeling the paper off crayons and putting them in silicone molds. I probably should have baked it a little bit longer but think it turned out pretty well and Nick had a lot of fun making them. Here is the directions on how to make them:

Peel a bunch of crayons you can use the old broken ones if you want. Break them into small pieces, put the pieces in some silcone baking cups, and put the cups on a cookie sheet. Bake at 250 for about 10 minutes. Cool until hard, pop them out of the molds, and you have fun shaped multicolored crayons. Note, don’t overcook tem or your crayons will get too liquid and all the colors will run together and make brown. I was afraid of them doing this and probably should have cooked them maybe 12 minutes.

We also made Easter Buckets for the Easter egg hunt next weekend. We had the kids cousins come over to make them too. Everyone had a lot of fun and we are ready for the egg hunt. I hope it does not rain.

We also made some bunny’s and chicks out of paper plates and our in the process of making another craft that Nick thought was cool and Allie did not like so much because she had to put her hands in paint and there was no way she was going to do that.
