Get some bandannas that are plain and use the crayons to color pictures on them. Iron the bandannas to set the color.

You could use them to color on the shell of a hard boiled egg and then dye the egg. If you use light colors that match the color of the eggshell then the wax of the crayons protects the shell so that that part of the shell doesn't get dye on it. When you pull the egg out of the stain, you see the reverse -- clear where the crayon was and dye staining where it wasn't.
Although you can purchase the paper just as easily, you can also use the crayons to create the paper itself. Color a piece of paper, then color over it with a black crayon. Using a pin or other tool for scratching you can scratch away the black to reveal the rainbow colors underneath. This allows the kids to choose their own color scheme for underneath the black layer. The color underneath needs to be very thickly laid on or else when the black goes over it will just color in and won't be able to be scratched off.

Hi recently I saw a kids crafts book at a Michaels Store and it had an idea where you boil water and get out of the heat then put in the very hot water shaved crayons of all colors you want they will melt with the heat, inmediately after put hard boil eggs in and take out...the melted multicolors of crayons should stick to the eggs and should be fun to see and then eat boil eggs after showing a good presentation. Hope you enjoy this with the kids HAVE FUN. PEACE Gypsy from rancholasparras75@yahoo.com

On thing that I really liked was a craft brand of crayons that transfer onto t-shirts. I'm not sure of the brand, but I think they can be bought at any craft store like Michael's or JoAnns. All you have to do is color with the crayons onto a piece of paper, then iron it onto a t-shirt! So, you have to keep in mind that the design will come out backward...

Have you done a search for the Crayola Crayon's web site? You should do a search for crayon craft ideas also. There is a wealth of ideas out there if you do a search.

You can make more crayons. Unwrap the old, broken crayons and place them in lined muffin tins (mini muffins work best). Then place them in the oven on low heat until they melt and form new crayons. They make great crayons for younger kids, because they are slightly bigger.

hi....when i was a girl scout leader we made friendship sweatshirts...we took crayons and drew our own faces on xtra light grade sand paper (making sure to color THICK features-lots of crayon)...then lightly iron the opposite side onto a shirt...they were really cute and worked well as long as they pressed hard with the crayon....try it!....you may also want to check out the girl scouts web page...good luck!

If you have time tomorrow, you can get some shrinky-dinks. They're fun and cheap and easy to do, if the kids are old enough to cut them out themselves. Otherwise you'll get stuck cutting out 100 little drawings.
You could attach some string to paper and have them make masks. Try looking up some simple origami folds on the internet, and teach them to the kids. They could color and decorate the finished product and take them home- 2 activities for the price of one!
It would be helpful to know the ages of the kids.
