DIY - How to make LEGO Crayons

How to make your own LEGO crayons:

This is how to make or DIY Lego Crayons for a birthday party. I made these ones for my daughters party for the gift bags. I bought the LEGO trays on Amazon.com for $4 - $8 and made candy and crayons. The crayons were old crayons we had collected from restaurants and broken ones around the house, so it didn't cost me anything in supplies.

Your little one can help you by peeling off the wrappers (or I use an exacto knife to make a cut the lenght of the crayon and then just pull off the wrapper in one move), they can help break up the crayons, pick the colors and place them in the molds/trays.

This silicon tray worked very well. I placed it on a broil pan with foil underneath to protect it from the heat. I preheated the over to 275 degrees and put the tray in the middle of the over for 8 - 10 mins. Use a timer so you don't forget!! When the crayons get too hot - they boil, singe and smell burned.

To cool the tray I placed it in the freezer for 20 mins. Then I let the tray get to room temperature before trying to pry out the crayons. The best way is to just completely pop out (inside out) the mold of each crayon then carefully pull out the knobs of the LEGO block. TIP: make sure the cooling surface is level or you will have slanted and uneven crayons. To even out any corners or imperfections, I simply just "colored" down the edges on some paper and it was proof that they worked :)

Have fun and enjoy!!

DIY - How to make LEGO Candy

How to make or DIY Lego Candy for a LEGO Birthday Party or for fun! I bought the LEGO Candy making trays online at Amazon.com Both the "Ice Tray" and "Candy Tray" to make decorations and treats for the Lego Birthday Party for my little girl. Only about $4 - $8 each, and the candy was $2.50 a bag at Walmart.

 

Here you see the finished product. I bought BLUE, PINK and YELLOW Wilson Candy Melts. I used about 8 - 10 candy pieces per square and placed the tray in the microwave for a minute. I pulled out the tray and checked for holes. I used additional pieces to squish the candy into the holes and a toothpick to spread the candy around. Then I microwaved it for an additional 30 - 45 secs.

 

 

Once the candy was completely melted, I again used the toothpick to fill in the corners and holes of the LEGO shapes. Once it was filled in, I held both sides of the tray and taped it lightly to tap out any bubbles or air pockets. Once all the bubbles came to the top and the surface appeared smooth, I placed the tray in the fridge to cool for about 20 mins.

Once the candy was cool, I flipped the tray over and lightly tapped the tray and the candy pieces just fall out. It was a lot of fun and I might do some more colors since it was so easy!! One bag of candy will do about 3 trays of candy or 24 pieces of each color.
