[...] I had seen posts from a number of people on how they’d melted down their old crayons to make big chunky new ones (in muffin tins) and since we had an ice-cream container full of broken pieces of crayons I decided to give this a go. There are lots of sites with tutorials – here is a link to one [...]

They melt very nicely, but the original paper is a bear to pull off since it’s stuck pretty well to the crayons.
