How To Make A Crayon Carousel Using Recycled Materials
Colorful Crayon Carousels Are Environmentally Friendly
The memories you create when you spend time crafting with your kids are priceless, and that's the real reason I love to spend so much time in my studio. I love to sift, sort and organize just about everything I come into contact with, so this clever little crayon keeper meets my need for color coding style, order and organization!
The completed carousel is really cute, but it's also great fun to watch when it comes time to clean up. You will watch with great delight as your kids keep the carousel turning so they can put their crayons in the "proper container." Having fun with your family is a joy that everyone should experience, and I hope that you will enjoy your time together as you help your favorite kids create this cute and clever crayon carousel!

- That really is charming. I bet you could even use the carousel removed from a broken kitchen appliance.
