In this article, we will explore four exciting activities that will turn your broken crayons into magical masterpieces. Get ready to embark on colourful adventures and join us in saving our planet, one crayon at a time!


1. Splendid Scribble Art:

Who says drawings need to be confined within traditional lines? Gather your assortment of broken crayon pieces and unleash your imagination with splendid scribble art! Grab a big sheet of paper or a canvas and let your creativity run wild. By using different crayon pieces, you can create captivating textures and patterns. Blend and mix colours together to make your artwork truly mesmerizing. The result? A unique masterpiece that showcases your artistic flair and brings your imagination to life!


2. Melted Crayon Canvas:

Get ready to witness the magic of melted crayons on canvas! Break your crayon pieces into small bits and arrange them on a canvas in your desired pattern. Warm up the crayons with a hairdryer or a hot iron (with adult supervision) until they begin to melt. Watch in awe as the colours blend and flow, creating a vibrant and abstract work of art. The melted crayon canvas is a sensory delight that combines colours and textures, making it a truly enchanting addition to any room.


3. Rainbow Crayon Candles:

Turn your broken crayons into dazzling rainbow crayon candles! Gather heat-resistant containers such as small glass jars or silicone molds. Sort your broken crayon pieces by colour and fill the containers with alternating layers of crayon bits. With adult supervision, use a microwave or double boiler to melt the crayons until they become liquid. Insert a candle wick into the centre of each container and let the wax harden. You've just created your very own rainbow crayon candles that will illuminate any space with colourful warmth.


4. Mosaic Madness:

Lets unleash our inner mosaic artists! Break your crayon pieces into small fragments and sort them by colour. Grab a piece of cardboard or a wooden canvas and a bottle of craft glue. Use your creative instincts to arrange the colourful crayon pieces into intricate patterns, shapes, or even pictures. Glue them down securely, and watch as each fragment adds a burst of colour to your mosaic masterpiece. Once dry, proudly display your unique creation for all to admire.


With these four exciting activities, broken crayons can find new purpose and bring endless joy to your artistic endeavours. By reimagining and repurposing these crayon pieces, we not only reduce waste but also engage in eco-friendly fun.
