If you have kids (or nieces and nephews) chances are you have an old box or two of crayons stashed somewhere in your home. Even if they are too worn down and broken to donate to a day care center or women's shelter, you can still recycle them.
To give your kids' crayons new life send them to Crazy Crayons, a program which melts down old crayons to create new ones in fun shapes. Read more about how the program got started here.
