I think this is the neatest idea ever besides the Magic School Bus coming the morning of School. I attending 24/7 Moms Show last night and it was fantastic and so informative for all things Back to School.
During the show they talked about Edible Crayons so I had to check it out. Here is a recipe that I found that is so easy from Gourmet Mom On-The-Go. Looks like so much fun and I can't wait to make them for all the kids in Andrew's Preschool Class this year welcoming them into Pre-K:)

Notes: You can buy Candy Melts in white or brown at Wal-Mart. They're in the craft section in the wedding supplies. Wal-Mart also had white chocolate bark in the baking aisle. For colored Candy Melts, check your local cake supply store or you can get them at http://www.sugarcraft.com/. On sugarcraft.com, do a search for "compound coating". To color melted white chocolate chips or chocolate bark, oil-based candy food coloring is best. If you have regular food coloring, just make sure the chocolate isn't too hot (just warm) when you add it or it might make it clumpy.
