We thought we'd give them a bit of seasonally themed make-over with the help of a couple of gingerbread shaped ice-cube trays.
There - don't they look happier?
There is a tonne of information out there on how to do it. Here's an example. I don't think you're supposed to heat them, but I used ice cube moulds for mine and melted the crayons on a very low heat and they turned out just fine.
Packaged up for friends - they make a lovely scrappy gift!
