A new life for old crayons:)

I have about 5 pounds of crayons in my house, and for whatever reason no one wants to use them!  So I need a project to recycle all of these old bits into something my kids actually want to use.

I saw a lot of posts about melting down crayon bits in muffin tins to make round crayons, but I like this post that shows the same process but using a star shaped tin.  The colors can be combined in any way, and you can make any shape you have a mold for.  I have a feeling these little star crayons will be much more appealing, and the process of breaking them up and peeling off the paper before they are melted should be pretty fun too!!
