Don't you hate it when you get crayons and your kids break them so fast. Well here is a really fun way to make them new again. All you need is a mini cupcake pan of some sort, pieces of crayons, and an oven.
Here is a link for the instructions from Family Fun.

In the instructions it says to bake them at 250 for 10 to 15 minutes. This completely liquefies the crayons so I would suggest melting crayons with like colors so that they don't all melt down into brown crayons. Another tip I might add.... don't get impatient and put them in the freezer they will crack. I guess that is to be expected. You can however wait until they are pretty solid and then put them in the fridge there is minimal breakage there. Oh last comment.... don't use a cupcake pan you really love it does leave a little of crayon reside. I didn't use liner though. Maybe I should have.
