When P was a toddler {and we were in our college poor days} we used to make these for birthday gifts. We always have a vast supply of stubby crayon odds and ends in our craft containers and this is a really fun project to use them all up. IKEA has some great ice trays that come in different shapes and sizes that are perfect for this craft. Wrap them up in a pretty package with a coloring book and you’re good to go.
