Although these crayons aren't the best at coloring, they still get the job done and are 100% edible. They're made from fabulous foods that are packed with color and even though they're not for sale, that doesn't mean you couldn't try your hand at making your own!
These edible crayons are made by the mastermind over at Luxirare. Most of the ingredients used are freeze dried and then ground to get their bright colors and unusual texture. Make sure to hop over and take a look at the amazing photographic work that went into these creations.
Though freeze drying is probably out of the question, for just just about everyone, how about making some just for fun at the dinner table? Maybe your next birthday party, or even just for fun on a rainy/snowy day inside?
A binder like honey would hold many ingredients together, all you'd need is a mold. What foods do you think would work well to keep your children entertained while eating? Let us know in the comments below!

A more practical, edible, and kid-friendly alternative was featured last fall on the Parties by Hardie blog. Her printable Back to School party is also adorable.
Thanks for sharing that link Yolanda, that's far more kid friendly and an idea they could even help in making!
These look neat but do we really want to associate eating and crayons? My child is 11months so I haven't gotten him on to drawing yet, so I don't know what my strategy will be as he does put everything in his mouth.... interesting idea.
Luxirare is not a website endorsing child friendly food items so it's obviously silly to compare her products with that made from pretzels as Yolanda shared with us.
My son (2yr old) eats crayons no matter what, I have two (5 & 3) that leave them down for him. They go right through....lol.
I love the edible crayon ideas. They are perfect for sensory seeking children. I also posted an entry about them on my blog: b is for bloom. Thanks for sharing.
