That is a good idea about making big crayons out of them. Gabie would like that and wouldn't know the difference. He is only 9 months old, but we are starting to give him things to mark with. I can't see why we wait so long to let our kids try things sometimes. He had fun with a pen and drew his grampa a whale, LOL, for Father's Day in a card. Well, it does look like a whale with a spout of water coming out of the top. We were just talking about buying him some fat crayons today.
Found this online:
we took a piece of wax paper, shaved bits of crayon onto it (potato peeler or edge of scissors) placed another wax paper on top, and ironed it. Turns out kinda stained-glass-like... then we cut it into shapes and put it in a black construction paper frame and hung it in the windows/from the lights .
When I was a girl we made sand candles and used crayons to color the wax: Take a box and fill it half to two-thirds full of damp sand. Use your fingers to make 3-4 little legs and your hand to create a cavity. You can put seashells or other ornaments along the sides. Then you fill the shape with layers of colored wax, putting in one or more wicks after the first pouring. When they are cool, dig them out and enjoy.
