I want to take my daughters old broken crayons and melt the down to make a big rainbow crayon. I did it when I was little but it turned into a big brown mess. Does anybody know how to do it the proper way, and can give me specific directions on how to do it?

Make Homemade Crayons. Gather up old crayon stubs. You can make them into new crayons by melting these "leftovers" in a 200-degree oven in paper-lined muffin tins for just a few minutes. If you have a window in your oven, your child will enjoy watching the stubs melt and blend. Invite your child to mix crayons together to make a new color. You can make vibrant solid color "chubbies" or tie-dye-inspired block crayons with all the colors mixed together.

You can always do this on the stove with the crayons in a metal bowl sitting on top of a pot of water. If you are doing this in the microwave, make sure that you have a container of water in there with the crayons in a separate container, maybe a lage bowl with the water and a smaller bowl with the crayons inside of it, make sure the water does not get into the crayons. (I have not done this for a long time, but I remember that it is similar to making your own chocolate, soap, or candles.)

Is breaking them in half an important step in this ceraceous recipe? Have you ever thought about buying some candy molds and melting them into shapes? I prefer ironing crayon shavings between wax paper and grocery bags. It's more hands-on.

put the crayons in a small container and nuke it for 30 minutes at a time until they are melded together. I usually put them in a muffin tin (inside a muffin paper) and "bake" them on 200 for about 5 minutes.
