Crayons: cheap, prosaic, durable, unexciting. And when they get short no-one wants them. Paint is where they keep the fun. But paint is expensive!
I propose that crayon bits could gain new life, reborn as paint. A crayon stub will be left in a small quantity of "odorless" mineral spirits in a
reused glass jar. Once it dissolves the spirits will have become crayon colored paint.
This would be a cheap way to make volumes of paint for kids. Mineral spirits are cheap and crayons have excellent colors and are readily available. A little bit of crayon will make a lot of paint.
Preliminary experiments at the BUNGCO campus daycare have been encouraging!

What we wouldn't have given to have a short piece of a crayon. |
|
| |
Why, when we were little, we had to gather raw materials in the forest, and grind them to a paste, mixing them with lizard guts, so as to make our own pigments so we could paint stick figures on the stone we lived under " |

| |
You had a stone to live under! And access to a forest and animals! You lucky, lucky, bar steward! |

That "odorless" is related to the evaporation rate of the oil.
This means your paint could take quite a long time to dry. |
