I’m always on the hunt for little holiday treats for school and party favors that aren’t food.  These sweet little bunny crayons are perfect for filling eggs…and are easy and inexpensive to make, too!

To make them you’ll need:

silicone mold {I found this one in the baking section of the craft store}

crayons {old stubby, broken ones work perfectly for this!}

cookie sheet

oven

Choose the crayon colors you’d like your new crayons to be.  For these Easter bunnies, I chose spring-ish pastels and white.

Remove the wrappers.  I’ve found they don’t peel easily, so I carefully slice the wrapper from top to bottom with a craft knife.

Break the crayons in tiny pieces and mound them into the mold.  They melt down quite a bit, so really pack them in.

Place mold on a cookie sheet in a 300 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, or until crayons are completely melted.  Be extremely careful removing cookie sheet and mold from the oven, as the liquid wax tends to slosh around.

Let the melted crayons cool for about an hour, or until solid.  Then pop them out of molds and package them in muslin bags or plastic eggs!
