Fishy Crayons

After seeing the idea of melting crayons on Meet the Dubiens I thought I’d give it a go as we have a lot of broken crayons hanging around the house.

So I took the wrappers off the crayons and broke them into small pieces.

Then added them to a glass pot inside a saucepan of water which I then put on a medium heat until the crayons had melted and then took it off the heat.

I bought an ice cube tray from Ikea in the shape of fish. I chose the fish as I thought they would still be easy enough to hold.

I poured the melted crayons into the mould and let them to set for a few hours. They crayons stain the mould and obviously the mould was bought for this purpose and won’t be used for ice cubes!
