Going Green with Crazy Crayons

Trendy Tip mom’s as you know, I am always looking for ways to go Green and thanks to another Trendy mom, I just found another way to do my little part.  On a daily basis I am picking up broken crayons and tossing them in the trash.  NO MORE now we have a great little box ready to recycle.  The kids and I took a shoe box and decorated it full of color and cut a small hole in the top.  It now sits with our other recycle bins ready to gather broken crayons.  So if your crayon box has gotten out of hand,  Crazy Crayonsmight be the place for you. Founder LuAnn Foty is on a mission to recycle those old crayons kids don’t want to use anymore. You can send your old crayons (or those from your school, daycare or church) and they are recycled into new, multi-colored molded crayons. You can get turtles, hearts, dinosaurs or seasonal varieties. All of them are really cool and they color in a nice, randomly colored pattern.

Recycling crayons may not change the world, but it’s a lot of fun and a great way to introduce your little ones to the idea of recycling in a way they can really relate to and enjoy…

National CRAYON RECYCLE PROGRAM

The CRAYON RECYCLE PROGRAM takes old, rejected, broken crayons to a better place, where they’ll be recycled into fresh, new crayons! The program has been a national success! The CRAYON RECYCLE PROGRAM does not add or take away anything from the original crayon. All CRAZY CRAYON purchases benefit the CRAYON RECYCLE PROGRAM

•  LuAnn Foty, founder of CRAZY CRAYONS and the CRAYON RECYCLING PROGRAM has been in business for 14 years
• The CRAYON RECYCLE PROGRAM is an educational tool, a “doing your part for the Earth” project, and a community service. Be creative with this recycle program. A crayon drive can be organized by kids and brought to a community level.

Another great idea from Martha Stuart

Heat makes a crayon a little loopy; it may melt into a swirl or pool into a whirl. With this in mind, we chopped up crayons and baked them in shaped mini cake tins, making large blocks that are easy for toddlers to hold and will surely inspire older artists. Encourage kids to come up with combinations: A blue-and-white blend for drawing the sky, for example, and a mix of reds and oranges for sunsets.

 

Tools and Materials
Kitchen knife
Old crayons
Mini-cake tins (we used pans with heart- and circle-shaped pockets)

Crayon How-To
1. Parents can use the knife to chop crayons into pea-size pieces, taking care to keep colors separate so kids can combine them as they like.

2. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees while children fill the tin with crayon pieces, arranging them in interesting designs.

3. Bake just until the waxes have melted, 15 to 20 minutes.

4. Remove the shapes after they have cooled. If they stick, place tray in the freezer for an hour, and the crayons will pop out.
