Valentine Coloring Kit

This craft is super easy and very cute for you to make with or for your children and their classmates. I am 99.9% sure that coloring with these crayons is way more fun than the plain, boring crayons ;)


Whatcha Need:
-Small silicone muffin tray (I love this heart shaped one), small muffin pan, AND/OR small paper muffin cups
-Crayons
-Cookie Sheet
-X-acto Knife (optional)
-Cellophane Treat Bags, like these
-Coloring Sheets and Labels

What To Do:
-Preheat oven to 200 degrees F
-While you wait, peel off the paper wrapper from the crayons. This is when the X-Acto knife comes in handy! Run the knife down the length of the crayon to quickly peel off wrapper
-Break or cut crayon into (roughly) 1/4" pieces
-If you are using a muffin pan, spray with non-stick cooking spray
-Fill mold with crayon pieces. I chose to pair similar colors together, but rainbow crayons would also be fun! You'll need the equivalent of two crayons per cup
-Place mold on cookie sheet and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the crayons are completely melted
-Carefully remove cookie sheet from oven and let the crayons cool
-Once they have cooled for about 5 minutes, place molds in the freezer and let them harden and cool for about 20 more minutes
-Once the molds have cooled completely, stretch the silicone mold (or if you're using a metal muffin tin use a knife) to loosen the crayons, then pop them out of the mold
-Put 2-5 crayons in bag
-Print and cut 4x4" labels and fold in half
-I like to fold the bag down a little bit, but that's optional
-Staple bag closed using labels
-Print coloring pages and punch a hole in the top left corner
-Tie pages together using string or book ring
