old crayons, new crayons

We've had so much fun melting down old tiny pieces of crayon and creating new ones.
We've been picking up bags of random crayons at the thrift shop every now and then. We even found a crayon maker with a full-sized crayon mold while at the PTO thrift shop last week. And the latest fun came when a friend gave me a mold (ice cube tray) that can handle the hot wax, so we just created a custom-color set of space invader crayons for pal Ez who just turned 4.
