Myles has always had a very adventurous palette. Yesterday afternoon I found him chewing on a crayon. After pulling tons of tiny little blue crayon bits out of his mouth with much protest from him I decided that I needed a better solution to my crayon storage. At this point Scarlet had broken most of them in some way or another and all the little bits are just kept in a tub. Myles pulls out a tiny piece and hides it to munch on later. I pulled out my silicone mini cupcake trays and started putting the tiny crayons in them. I decided that I needed bigger crayons so even it he tried to eat them he would not choke on little pieces. This is what I came up with.
I peeled all the crayons and put them in the baking trays.
Tossed the full tray in the oven at 275 for 5 to 10 minutes until all the crayons were melted.
Cooled the melted crayons and put them back in the crayon tub.
Worked like a charm. This way Myles can't choke on them and Scarlet can't break them. This made life so much easier.
Until next time,
Stay crafty.
