      Gather crayon pieces. Remove the wrappers and discard the paper.

    • 2

      Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.

    • 3

      Fill each heart mold with crayon pieces. Break large crayon pieces to fit entirely in the mold.

    • 4

      Line a flat cookie sheet with tin foil. Set the heart tin on the cookie sheet.

      Remove the pans from the oven, using oven mitts. Let the crayons set until the wax has hardened and they are no longer warm.
