Watching them melt through the oven was key so that they didn't overcook and we could tell when the last bit of crayon finally liquified. And, not freezing them too long, too!Tan Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02415692317662462128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089099812824530539.post-36943556804161896562009-05-23T15:52:20.469-07:002009-05-23T15:52:20.469-07:00i tried this once, it didn't work at all. the diff...i tried this once, it didn't work at all. the different types of crayons melted differently from each other, some just turned into liquid, clear oil it seemed - and the fumes! i might have had the wrong type(s) of crayons, but i haven't read a warning about this anywhere.theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423669994232456611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089099812824530539.post-19311481912138593512009-05-23T14:27:38.893-07:002009-05-23T14:27:38.893-07:00What a fun post!
