Help! I can’t seem to find a dish/jar anything that is the right size for the crayons. Any specific suggestions as to exactly what kind of jar to use? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank u!
I made something like this for my daughter’s kindergarten teacher. I used a garden pot. I should have used one like this though, because with the angle of the pot, I had trouble keeping the crayons even. I put a styrofoam ball and poked pencils into it.
That’s a great idea about putting a styrofoam ball into the container and making it into a pencil holder. We might have to “borrow” that idea for a future teacher gift!
I cannot seem to get the glue to keep the crayons on. Suggestions?
I love this idea. Do you have a facebook page that I could like and follow??

We found ours at Michaels but they also have this kind of stuff on Amazon and Hobby Lobby.
Thank you for this awesome idea! I’m making two of these tonight for my sons end of the year gifts for his Kindergarten teachers!
