The Amazing Crayon |
Fun Shaped Soy Crayons |
HOW AMAZING........ This adventure was created by our daughter Marcella when she was ten years old. It began with many boxes of old and broken crayons saved over years and years (okay, I'm quite a packrat). We searched the internet for some inspiration and found that we could recycle them into new shapes by melting them. Marcella suggested selling her own recycled crayons. Okay then. We mixed, melted, molded, and then decided that the smell of the hot paraffin was awful! Next, we transformed some old soybean crayons into new shapes instead. Wonderful!! Environmentally friendly, non-toxic, fun, and amazing crayons were produced right before our eyes. Marcella made a list of some possible names for her shaped soy crayons and "The Amazing Crayon" topped it. Today, we work together as a family making, packing, and selling these great crayons. We have quite a collection of molds and colors. Our shaped soy crayons are now made from our own recipe using natural soy wax and pigment. They smell great, color well, and most importantly,they are much better for our little artists and the environment. |
