A Non-Food Valentine’s Day Classroom Treat
This is a look back at last year’s Valentine’s Day post, when my friend Diane shared with me her family’s tradition of making a non-food Valentine favors for her children’s classmates.
She rightfully says it’s a great way to put old, cracked crayons to use. Bonus: her kids are now old enough to actively participate in the process she first spied in a magazine years ago.
First, gather your broken crayons:
Peel off the paper like Diane’s daughter Francine is doing here, and break the crayons into smaller bits:
Francine is holding the family’s faithful silicon heart-shaped cupcake pan.
Fill molds with broken crayons and bake low and slow, checking on the melting process along the way.
Here is the finished product: attractive & functional heart-shaped tie-dyed Valentines.
Here’s Diane’s son Tommy right before they placed 2-3 of the crayons into bags tied with pretty ribbons and a card.
There will be enough candy in and out of the classroom on Valentine’s Day. Why not go for something unique and fun?
