This wild crayon laboratory encourages kids to experiment with colors. View larger. | One Part Art, One Part Science
Built from durable blue-plastic construction, the Crayola Crayon Maker looks like a little laboratory, decorated with dripping ooze and scientific doodads. The kit comes with four classic-colored crayons, which you can break into pieces and mix together in the machine's melting trays. When melting crayon pieces in the metal melt tray, the safety-latch lid stays locked for safe fun. And the lid is clear so kids and adults can watch while the crayons melt -- a hypnotic pleasure. When the crayons have melted down and blended together, a yellow lever on the side of the Crayon Maker tilts the tray to pour the melted crayons into the molds. With two compartments, the melt tray allows you to pour two new color designs at a time. With four crayon molds, that's two of each. When hardened, the flexible plastic mold frame easily snaps open to reveal newly formed crayons with exciting color combinations. With their new homemade crayons in hand, kids will be ready and psyched to color like never before! Encourage Experimentation
Kids love to play and experiment, and when it comes to the Crayola Crayon Maker, it's all about the process. It's fun to choose different crayon colors and watch as they melt down into neat new swirled designs. By the time kids get to coloring, they can be even more proud of their work knowing they made the crayons too! While the Crayon Maker is designed well for child safety, adult supervision is still necessary and requires a little patience. Thankfully, this is a toy that parents can actually enjoy along with their children. What's in the Box

 Fun for the arts & crafts kid |

| My daughter is always making things... potions, concoctions, art, you name it. This was by far her favorite birthday gift and has been using it nonstop since. I don't mind letting her break crayons to use this thing, crayons are cheap. I think the most important thing is to get all the wax out of the metal tray before it cools otherwise it's a pain. I haven't had any problems with the functionality. |
A good item but takes time

| Reviewer: Mother of twin girls, |
| My 5-year-old daughters really wanted this after seeing the commercial. It is actually a really cute item but certainly requires an adult to operate it and takes about 20 minutes to make 4 half crayons. I actually expected (and would have preferred) it to make new, full size crayons but instead, they give you 2 plastic pieces that you can stick each half-crayon into to make a new, 2-sided crayon. I can imagine we will misplace these plastic pieces eventually but it will be easy enough to color with the small crayons. It is fun and they do come out in pretty swirls and are fun to color with. My daughters were a little impatient the first time we made them, waiting for the finished product but now they help me set it up and then they know it takes a while so they are off doing other things until I surprise them with their new crayons! I saved all of our broken crayons thinking I was going to create all new ones from it but it is pretty time consuming so instead, we do it every once in a while. I would recommend this, though, if your child is asking for it. It is at least something new and different! Oh, and it requires a 60-watt light bulb with a skinny base to work so have that on hand! |

| This was the best idea for Christmas for my granddaughter. She loves to draw and color and had so many pieces of crayon that really added up. We kept buying more crayons, but now she enjoys making new colors and keeping the crayons that she has. This really is a great savings. |
Crayola Crayon Maker is a great buy.
