At here we have six cups are sorted and six cups are mixed. We like the sorted ones, but mixed ones also look cool.

Heating the oven to 230F, place the muffin tin in the oven, if you are sing a silicon muffin tin, you have to place on a baking sheets. Baking for 15-20 minutes. You need to use toothpicks to stir and rotate the pan as the mine is not melting evenly. Watch carefully when wax is mostly melted, you can pull the pan out.

Allow the muffin tin to cool completely. You can put it in the fridge that will help loose the crayons in a tin. You remember that don't put a hot pan in the fridge because it will heat the fridge and the food will be spoiled. Finally, pop the crayons out of the pan and you have cool crayons for your kids.
