Living in the cold for several months a year leads to wondrous play! Roo got the kids this wonderful gift for Christmas and we saved it for one of those days. It is a Crayola crayon maker. You know all those tiny bits of crayon that "can't be used"? Well, Crayola has invented a way to put them into good use again. You choose all the tiny pieces, mix them up, and put them into this little machine, wait for about 20 minutes AND presto...new crayons!!! They suggest mixing light and dark colors to create amazing crayons. Wow!! You know what we used to do in my days? Shave the "no good crayons" onto wax paper and then iron them until they melt making beautiful hangings. Maybe a project for yet another cold day...

I totally remember doing that shaving and melting thing! A friend of mine makes crayons in her oven using muffin tin liners and then melts the chunks of similar colors at low heat. They make little Peanut Butter Cup shaped crayons for toddler.
