Recycling Crayons

It has been a while since my last post. A lot of things are going on right now. And while I am writing this post, I am recycling old crayons. I should have done this before, but for some reason I did not. I am peeling, sorting, and baking crayons to give my kids on Friday.  Yes, this coming Friday!  Crazy, I know! 

This is the 3rd year I am doing this for my students, instead of giving them candy, I will give them recycled crayons in the shape of a finger. Two years before, I did them by using the same color for each piece because I do not like to mix colors. However, this year, I decided to mix just two colors. Since it is getting closer and closer to Friday and the fact that I just have one cooking sheet,  and I thought two colors are more fun than just one.  Right?  It also takes me less time to sort through and peel the papers off crayons to prepare them for the mold.

I know the kids will love them; it is something different and fun.

Here are some pictures.
