NOT Just Another Mom

So if you’re like me and have older kids, you might have 50 million crayons laying around your house. A few years ago, as we were purging toys to donate, I found crayons everywhere. The kids are now 17 and 13 and were ready to just throw them away (which of course being the hoarder I am, I couldn’t).  I had already at one point made shaped crayons(posted  Here ), but didn’t use half of what we had. So today I came up with a brilliant idea of making Valentines cards with old crayons. The cards are for my 2 yr olds in our preschool, so they don’t care what the crayons look like. I definitely had enough to hand out! I found cute Valentines cards using crayons on the Cricut access  here  and added a fourth one (a bee) for good measure. So, here are some of the final cards for my little ones to color for Valentines…I hope you like it! (And I also hope I’m not the only one with such a vast collection of old crayons…) Tagged: cricut design , cricut valentines , old ...

I used Reynolds fun shapes muffin/cupcake liners in my muffin pan. Then I melted old bits of crayons from my kids pencil boxes at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. I then swirled gently with a toothpick ( it will look pinkish depending on what colors you add) and let cool. After they were cool, I popped them out and they are ready to go! They are awesome especially for preschoolers to work on their grip!
