THE PROCESS
I collect old crayons and recycle them. I take the donated crayons and sort them by colors. My dad cuts the wrapper. I remove it. Next, we break them into smaller pieces and place them in color-coded jars. We place the jars in boiling water. Once the pieces have melted, my dad helps me to pour the wax into fun-shaped molds.

HOW TO DONATE CRAYONS
Friends, family and teachers give me old and broken crayons. If you would like to help, you can drop off your old crayons at upcoming shows.
