Cooking Crayons

We did this little craft experiment last week, but didn't get time to really post anything, so here it is now (more updates to come soon).

So I saw this cool thing on a craft blog and wanted to try it. I even showed Mona the pictures and she was so excited and wanted to do it right away.
We took the bits and pieces of broken crayons (and we did break some too) and put them in the oven to cook them (well melt them into different shapes).
And as it was the very first time that we were trying it, we went with basic round shapes. We made 'Cookies Crayons'! lol...

Mona was so excited about that project and was waiting impatiently for the crayons to set and cool down to draw with them. And gosh she was one very happy girl!!
The colors from the crayons mix was really popping and bright too!
And after a good time coloring with the round 'cookies' crayons, Mona started to play with them, stacking them, building a tower with them, putting them in a row and counting them, naming the colors etc... it was great fun and we loved it all!
We will definitely be doing it over again, but with different shapes (need to buy more crayons first... lol)
Here are the pictures!
