Lego Party: The Favors, Part 1
Hey, friends! Guess what? Next month, my sweet Little Crafter turns FOUR years old! Where does the time go?! He wanted to have a little get-together with some of his friends to celebrate on the actual day, so he made his own guest list and chose his own theme…a Lego Extravaganza! Of course, I scoured Pinterest and found a ton of fun ideas. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be showing you the details and the how-to’s as his party comes together.
First, the favors. The other day, we visited a LEGO store in the mall near my in-laws’ house. Much to my excitement, they had silicon molds {they called them ice cube trays} of the little mini-figures! I’ve seen tutorials a all over the internet for melted shaped crayons, so we decided to give it a try…and here they are!
Materials:
Lego Miniature silicon mold
Crayons
Oven
Step 1: Preheat oven to 200. Peel your crayons. This part is kind of a pain, but if you have a little helper, it goes faster…sort of.
STEP 2: Break crayons and put into mold.
For this particular mold, I found that it takes 4/5 of a full crayon to make one Lego man. We broke the crayons into five pieces, put four of each in the mold, then saved the extras to combine and make some cool swirly looking multi-colored ones.
wow i loved how it turned out! very creative!!
Awesome! we are having a lego party for our almost 5 year old in December, can’t wait to see what else you share!
I have 2 of these molds and can’t wait to do this! Check out what I did with them at

Remove the paper more easily by slicing the paper the length of the crayon with a razor blade. To get lots of free crayons, ask the primary teachers ahead of time if you can have the crayons at the end of the school year – they throw them away. (The teacher I asked got them from all the pre, kindergarten, & 1st grade classes – and I got a TON! This school also threw them away at Christmas to start the new term with new crayons.)
I love how they came out too! Such an awesome idea!
These are so cute! I need to get this for my nephews birthday!
Wow!! They really turned out nicely…So colorful…
I have some small bags that might work for you…
Such a cute idea.
Wow…this is awesome. I LOVE the lego man mold and how you all made favors with crayons! 😀
So cute! I have some lego lovers in my house…might have to make these.
These are so cool! My girls love legos so I’d love to make these for them!
Just when I think I’ve seen the cutest thing, something like this comes along. How perfect for your theme, and that your little guy could help make the favors! Thanks for the great idea!

:rushing to get lego mold:
Oooooh, these are AWESOME!! I’ll be planning a Lego Birthday Party in January and I wish the months would hurry up so I could make these already! 🙂
They look great. I may have to hunt down one of those molds. I’m stopping by from The Shabby Nest Friday link up.
Popped over from Six Sisters link party… uhhhh HOW COOL IS THIS!!!!!! Plus, I had no idea there were Lego STORES… this is just amazingly cool. Thanks for sharing and I’m so glad it worked so well!!!
Love it. Need one of those molds.
These are awesome! I hope they have the molds at my Lego store!
Brilliant! I have to find one of these molds and make these as favors for my little one’s birthday party!
Those are so cool! I wish I’d had those for my son’s Lego party a few years ago.
Amy- these are so FUN!! Love all the colors you used. And I’ve totally been there with popping crayons out of molds…I feel your pain! Thanks so much for linking up to Mop It Up Mondays…I’m featuring you tomorrow night!

These are awesome! Such a fun idea!!
I’m contemplating doing a Lego party for my youngest this year and wanted to do the Lego mini figure crayons since we have an over abundance of crayons, (I already have the molds, I use them to make chocolate minifigures). So thank you for taking the time to write up such clear instructions!
i’m pretty sure my 9 year old would love this, too! hoping our lego store has the mold, too…very cute!!!
Amy, where did you find your molds? My son turns 4 in Feb and he just told me he wants a Star Wars Lego party (he loves that game on Wii)!!
This is a really neat idea. Imagine the uses for these molds, with crayons, soap, anything. And any shape available would work. I’m wondering how well they color. Who cares? they’r just so cute!
