Homemade Heart Crayons – Preschool Valentine’s

We had a fun morning making heart crayons for Valentine’s Day!

Thanks for the idea Shannon! Caroline had a blast helping!

Homemade Heart Shaped Crayons

1. Peel crayons (soak in warm water to make it easy)
2. Break crayons into 3-4 pieces

3. Put pieces in silicon cupcake molds (I got mine at Ross for $2.99! I’ve heard that Hobby Lobby and Wal-Mart might have them too)

4. Bake @ 250-275 degrees for 10-12 minutes

5. Remove from oven and let cool until they’ve set

6. Enjoy coloring with your fun shaped crayons!

Do you make valentine’s with your kids?

I made these tags and put them in plastic baggies for preschool. The tags have the directions on the back.

Download and print your own tags here.

These 2 blogs were the inspiration. Thanks ladies!

I’m not a big fan “Commercial” Valentine’s Day, so it’s fun to make something instead.
