We happen to go through A LOT of crayons in our house. I feel like I am constantly buying them. Over the years Zack & Libby were required to have crayons in their school supplies which always left us with baggies of crayon remnants at the end of the year. Now that Alexander is into coloring I have found that he performs better with the thick chunky crayons but these tend to be cost a bit more than your standard crayon so we decided to put our crayon remnants to good use and make our own chunky toddler tie dyed crayons.
