Instead of soaking your crayons (because I NEVER leave myself enough time for that), just use the sharp end of a knife (scissors work too) and split it starting at one end. So you are "drawing" a line from one end of the crayon to the other, pressing hard enough to go through the wrappers. Then give the split wrappers to the kids and they can do the rest of the peeling! (Because you are melting down the crayon, it doesn't matter if the knife leaves a mark in the wax!) My kids LOVE peeling crayons! Just a thought! Ahhh, finally, I have something to share with you!

Thanks for asking, Org Junkie. If you're using Windows here are the steps you should follow... 1. Unzip the file using a program such as WinZip (usually if you right click on the zipped file an "unzip" option will pop up in the list). 2. Save the unzipped font file (usually it's the one that ends in .ttf) to an easy-to-find location such as your desktop 3. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Fonts 4. Click on File > Install New Font 5. Navigate to the file that you just saved on your desktop (or where ever you saved the file) 6. Select the file and click OK If you're using a Mac the process is a little easier 1. Right click the zipped file and select the Open With > Archive Utility option 2. The Mac will automatically add the unzipped file folder to the same location 3. Double-click the .ttf file, a small font window will appear showing the new font 4. Click the Install Font button at the bottom of the window That's it. I hope that helps. Happy font finding! No problem. Thanks for asking, Org Junkie.
