Celebrate Earth Day and Global Youth Service Days with a service-learning project that integrates art with the principles of solar cooking and the concept of resource recovery. Demonstrating four different models of solar cookers, children will melt reclaimed broken crayons together in repurposed lunchroom milk cartons, then cool them to create new, larger crayons. Children can contribute their new crayons to schoolchildren in Africa through Africa Seed’s Crayons Project.

Shipping one shoebox of crayons to Ghana can cost from $50-$65, so monetary donations, as well as donations of reclaimed crayons, used milk cartons, and used shoe boxes for shipping are all greatly appreciated!
