Hey Folks,

Here is a quick an simple way to recycle old crayons (or use new ones) to makereally cool lego crayons.

A friend recently made some of these as a present, and being an avid lego fan(and father to a growing fan) I had to try these out. You will find tons of tutorialson the web on how to make these, and to be honest you could make crayonsfrom any tyme of silicon mold you have.

I bought my mold on ebay for about £4, but if you are super adventurous, hereare some Instructables by other members on how to make silicon molds.

Find someone with little fingers to help peel of any paper on your crayons.

Step 3: Sorting

Sort your crayons by color if you want to make "one color" crayons, or mix themup. If needed, cut the crayons into small pieces.

Step 4: Fill 'em up

Fill the molds with small pieces of crayon. After a couple minutes in the oven Ipulled them out to add more pieces of crayons to the ones that needed it.

Step 5: "I'm Melting...."

Place the mold on a baking tray and place into a pre heated oven. I heated myoven to 220 C. It took about 5 minutes to completely melt the crayons.

Step 6: Chill out

Once fully melted, take out of the oven and let them sit at room temperature forabout 10 minutes. Then place in the fridge or freezer till hard.

Step 7: Time to play

Wow, what a great idea!

And, really, you could do these with any silicone mold. There's tons of differentones out there. I might have to make some Millenium Falcon crayons.

My kids made some melted crayon shapes just last night. We'll have to try the legomould, as they LOVE legos. After peeling a few, my 4yr old daughter suggestedthat we smash the crayons in a plastic bag while they still have the wrappers onthem. It was a great idea, because then you don't need to peel them. Oncesmashed, the wrapper just comes right off.

I can't wait to try this with my daughter!
