Introduction |
| Crayons are not the sturdiest of materials because their waxy substance makes them easy to break into pieces when mishandled. Because crayons are an easily accessible creative tool, it is important to find ways to repurpose the broken crayon pieces that users end up with. Even with normal wear and tear, a crayon may become too small to hold properly in the user’s hand. | | | Learning how to melt broken crayon parts to create a new crayon that can be easily held will prevent users from simply throwing away smaller crayons, which will lead to less waste in the environment. Moreover, less money can be spent replacing broken crayons that are otherwise still usable. | | | This guide is aimed towards adults who are helping children fix their broken crayons, as this task requires the handling of hot materials that should only be done by users aged 15 and above. |
