DIY- The perfect gift for young students

This project is a great way to repurpose old supplies and teach kids about creativity, kindness, and giving!

Got a pile of last year's broken crayons lying around? Don’t toss them—turn them into something fun and meaningful! These DIY heart-shaped crayons make awesome birthday gifts for classmates. Not only are they eco-friendly and budget-conscious, but they also add a handmade touch that kids love. 💖

🖍️ What You’ll Need:

  • Old crayons (paper peeled off and broken into small pieces)

  • Letter silicone mold

  • Baking sheet

  • Small bag or box

  • Ribbon or tape (optional for attaching tags)

🧁 Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).

  2. Peel and break crayons into smaller pieces (this is a great hands-on task for kids!).

  3. Fill each mold cavity with crayon bits—mix colors for a fun rainbow effect!

  4. Place the mold on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until fully melted.

  5. Cool completely, then pop out your new letter-shaped crayons.

  6. Place in a bag or box with a sweet birthday message.
