Although I love the thought of being a crafty mom & spending my days making fun little projects with my son, I just don’t have the creative skills to make it happen. My friend, Chris, showed me this cool blog with a great idea… Making crayons out of old “scrap” crayons…

So here’s how this went down in the Donaho household:

I decided it would be cute to make a Valentine’s crayon… So we placed our heart shaped cookie-cutter on the (covered) cookie sheet….

Then you place the cookie sheet in the oven at 275 for about 7 minutes…

Sounds easy enough so far, right?

Not when you forget about the leakage factor UNDER the cookie cutter….

Oops!

I attempted to salvage my little creation by wrapping the foil around it tightly and sticking it in the freezer to cool off…. Here was the final product:

Not too bad, right? Except I didn’t use near enough crayon-parts so this thing is super thin…. And you know what that means….

2 minutes after handing it to Noah:

A broken heart. Boo.

Happy Valentine’s Day!!
