Valentine Classroom Exchange

I wanted to do something different this year for Jake's Valentine classroom exchange so I immediately went to Pinterest for some inspiration. These cute, colorful heart shaped crayons caught my eye and were so simple to make!

Here is what you will need: Crayon pieces-I used 4 boxes of 24 crayons to make 18 cards Silicon heart mold Sharp knife Valentine card from the Nerd's Wife website Click here
There are tons of ways to make these but here are my directions: 1. Place your crayons in warm water to unwrap the paper

 2. Call Chris to cut them using a sharp knife, lol. Chris is my husband. Yes, I made this a family project.

3. Place heart molds on a baking sheet covered with foil and fill with broken crayon pieces. 4. Place in oven at 225 degrees for 10-20 minutes. These were done in 17 minutes. Here is what they looked like after they came out of the oven.

5. I let them sit out for about 30 minutes before placing them in the freezer for another 30 minutes. 6. Pop crayons out of the mold.   Here is how I packaged them using the Nerd's Wife printable.

 I also made sure to include this on the back (you never know):

Jake had fun making these too! Chris probably didn't but he helped out anyways. Stay tuned, my next Valentine project will be making teacher gifts.
