1. Can I use regular crayons or should they be non-toxic?

It's best to use non-toxic crayons, especially when children are involved in the crafting process.

If some crayon gets on your iron, while it's still warm, you can use a cloth to wipe it clean. Make sure to unplug it and let it cool down afterward.

With proper care, your suncatchers can last a long time. However, avoid placing them in direct sunlight for extended periods, as it may fade the colors over time.
