How to Make Rainbow Heart Valentine Crayons

February 6, 2023 By Stefanie

How-Make-Rainbow-Heart-Crayons
I love homemade Valentine gifts. When it comes time for my children to have their Valentine’s Day party school we have so much fun thinking of cute ideas of things to make for them to hand out. These heart crayons make the perfect Valentine handout! Most kids will give candy, so you can stand out from the crowd by giving homemade Valentine’s Day crayons.

Make-Heart-Crayons

Do you remember the Valentine craft list? Well on that list was some heart crayons. I LOVED making those crayons last year for my daughter’s preschool party and since we have moved I can do a repeat this year! This weekend we soaked and peeled crayons (Crayola crayons work very well being soaked and peeled because they don’t have glue holding on the papers, Roseart crayons STINK! They glue on the papers so even with soaking it is crazy hard. It is definitely worth the extra money to get the Crayola brand!) and made our hearts.

Once you have your heart silicon mold, fill it 1/3 full with crayons. You need to have enough crayons in each mold to more than fill the bottom of the mold. If the crayon is too thin it will break when you try to remove it.

Silicon-Mold-Crayons
On the tutorial I linked to in the crafts post they say to set the oven temperature to between 250-275 and bake for 10-12 minutes. I baked mine at 275 for 15-20 minutes. Thicker crayons require more time. I think they turned out pretty cute. In the end I made about 40 crayons and it took 6 packs of crayons.

Bake-Crayon-Hearts
Once they are completely melted and all liquid, let them cool on your counter. Make sure they cool completely before you try to remove them or they will be more prone to break. To remove start by stretching the sides and top. I use a pulling motion to get the sides loose from the silicon. Them I turn the mold over and gently start pressing on each mold individually to get it to pop out. If the crayon is thick enough and completely cool it can handle some pressure to get it out.

These darling Valentine’s crayons can be passed out to friends on Valentine’s Day. Put them in a bag and attach this cute “You Color My World” printable, and voila! Done!

    Really cute! What a great idea. Can you still color with them?

      Yes! The fun thing about coloring with them is that they are all rainbowy (I made that word up!) now! We LOVE to color with our swirl heart crayons!

    This is a great craft. You don’t necessarily have to make it for Valentine’s Day or make it in the shape of a heart. Thank you for sharing this great craft.

    Im definetely going to try this. Is that a plastic pan?

    • stefanie says

      February 9, 2014 at 2:39 PM

      It is a silicon pan. You can find them at crafts stores and I believe even Wal-Mart.

    what do you mean by soaked and peeled? how long is the soak?

    this is a cute idea but how did you get yours to look like the picture you posted? I feel like your holding something back…..

    • Stefanie says

      January 28, 2015 at 4:11 PM

      Nope, if you combine colors in your pan it will look just like mine. I took pictures of every step.

  17. Crystal Reeves says

    January 11, 2015 at 7:45 AM

    this is a cute idea but how did you get yours to look like the picture you posted? I feel like your holding something back, can you include that part in the instructions

  18. Suzanne says

    These came out great but any tips for cleaning the crayon from the silicone afterwards or are they a one use only?

    • Stefanie says

      January 28, 2015 at 4:12 PM

      I haven’t been able to get the white “waxy” residue off my silicon pan so now my heart pan is only for crayons. I make them every year so I don’t mind that.

  19. Kelly W says

    February 9, 2015 at 4:20 PM

    You said it took 6 packs of crayons to make 40 hearts, how many crayons were ion each pack?

    • Stefanie says

      February 9, 2015 at 4:40 PM

      The 24 pack.

    […] Instead of running to the store to buy new crayons, why not make your own? For this activity, you will want to take all of the paper off the crayons. Use aluminum foil to put a layer of protection on a muffin pan (or get a silicon mold), spray the foil with non-stick spray, and then place the broken crayons (without paper) into the muffin pan. Allow the crayons to melt inside the pan @ 300 degrees until they melt. Allow the crayons to cool before using them. I have a crayon tutorial here. […]
