Niblet Crayon
At her age, one of her favorite activities is to draw. Well, mostly she just scribbles and then instruct the adults to draw her favorite characters like fish, duck.. even barney (of course!).
Besides the magic pad, we also provide her with crayons and coloring book, to stimulate her motoric skills. But apparently, the only thing that’s stimulating her is to break the crayons to pieces. She’s definitely has the strength for it now .. and ended up having those broken pieces everywhere.
So I decided to re-bake them in a different shape so it’s breakable-proof. All you need is a muffin pan and the broken crayons.
First, put the pieces inside the pan. You can put all the same color, or you can combine them. The thicker it is, the better, so it’s break-proof.
Bake them in an oven about 180C for about 5-8 minutes. Take them out once they melt to the pan. Pop them inside the freezer. They’ll pop out easily from the pan once it’s cold.
Voila! They’re ready to use. The colorful niblets can be also used for gifts. Just place them in a clear plastic bag and tie it with a ribbon. Cute!
Remember, don’t make it too thin, or else it’s also easy for the toddler to break it to pieces.

Liz / 26 Mar 2010 02:47 / Log in to ReplyBisa langsung dipake gambar juga atau pake kuas. Mirip eye shadow dan blush di meja perang gue
inga / 26 Mar 2010 05:52 / Log in to Replybisa dipanggang berkali2 ya?

ninit yunita / 26 Mar 2010 07:24 / Log in to Replywahaa… keren & kreatif, mama Slesta !
jadi inget pernah bikin ini sama murid2ku dulu.
rainiw / 26 Mar 2010 07:40 / Log in to ReplyOia… niblet leleh-cetak ini bisa juga dilakuin ke sisa sabun2(soap bar) & sisa2 lipstik+lipbalm; cuma bukan dipanggang melainkan di-tim dalam panci. Lumayan, bisa eksperimen nyari colour-palette lipstik yang baru
Thank you Shin…sekarang crayon2 yg dah pd patah bisa jadi cantik lagi…mau coba ahhh…. thanks sharing idenya Shin…

Astrid Lim / 26 Mar 2010 07:59 / Log in to Replywah ide kreatif buat recycle nih, mbak… btw merek crayonnya harus sama nggak ya?

Sukmawati yusup / 26 Mar 2010 08:35 / Log in to Reply@meralda – hot day, kriwil pasti keluar deh!
cobain, mayan bikin naia happy waktu going thru prosesnya.
@liz – nope, no water. just put the pieces in the pan and bake. easy as cake!
@inga – gak perlu pake kuas, kan itu jadinya keras. basically tetep jadi crayon cuma beda bentuk aja.
@eka – harusnya sih bisa ya. tapi kalo udah digabungin gitu warnanya trus di panggang lagi, tar makin ga jelas warnanya, campur2. tapi lucu juga sih..
@windy – iya cobain. recycle kan judulnya, sesuai dengan tema “go green” hehe..
@ninit – that’s a great idea nit! sempet kepikiran bikin yang lucu2.. tapi ga punya pan nya. masalahnya lagi ya, mesti rada tebel bikinnya. kalo tipis tetep diancurin juga ntar.
@aini – iya, basic ideanya bisa dipake untuk barang2 mamanya juga sih. hehe..
@brenda – benerrr.. kadang crayon yang udah pendek2 gitu kan udah susah tuh dipake. daripada kebuang mendingan dicampur dan bikin baru.
@astrid – betul! cantik banget deh kalo ditaro di clear bag trus diiket ama pita gitu. great for goodie bag..
@ade – good question! kayaknya sih ga mesti sama, tapi better yang base nya sama. misalnya kalo water based crayon sama water based crayon. kalo gak tar melting nya ga sama. tapi boleh juga dicobain dulu.. belom pernah soalnya.
