I’ve saw versions of these awesome crayons all over blogland and Pinterest. I finally decided it was time to give them a try myself! I had some old crayons. Really old crayons. They were MY crayons when I was a kid. Now, I’m not old, but I’m thinking a crayon’s years have to be kind of like dog years, so they were OLD. Anyways, I decided it was time to put them to use and what better way, right!?
Whatcha Need:
- Crayons
- Silicone Molds
Instructions:
- Remove the crayons from their wrappers.
- Snap into pieces with your hands or chop up with a knife. I found it easier to just break each crayon into about 4 pieces with my hands.
- Mix up in a bowl, then add the pieces to your molds.
- Bake at 225 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let harden. I’m impatient so I put mine in the freeze and they were ready a few minutes later.
- Pop out of molds and voila!
You could make these to match any party theme in any shape. Stack them in cellophane bags and you’ll have some unique party favors. I think they’d also be great stocking stuffers for Christmas!

I love this idea! I have so many half-crayons laying around the house that I could totally do this!
What a great idea! My kids would love doing this!!
I love this idea and have been saving old crayons for awhile to do it but don’t know where to get the molds
I used mini silicone cake pans from Avon. I bet you could find some in the baking section at any big box store!
Clearance wilton cookie pans work best they fall right out I made these for halloween for my sons class and last year hearts for Valentines day!
LOVE this idea!!! Thanks so much for sharing! This will be a party favor at my daughter’s next birthday party!
I am doing this for my son’s 2nd birthday. We are doing train shaped ones. I think this is such a neet idea!!
