Pastel Beeswax Crayons

1 part grated soap
1 part beeswax
Concentrated food color paste

Melt beeswax in a small can placed in boiling water. Add the grated soap and stir until the soap melts and the mixture is smooth. Color the mixture with dry food coloring paste. Pour into lubricated aluminum foil molds. After testing the crayon, it can be melted again and more coloring added.

NOTE: Concentrated food coloring paste is sold with cake decorating supplies. The crayons are food safe and they blend well. Their color is almost as concentrated as the crayons made with artist's pigment.
