Product Description

Create and name your own crayon colors by melting and re-molding tiny crayon nubs into brand new crayons. This tabletop "crayon factory" uses a small light bulb to melt the Crayola crayon pieces kids vigorously wear down as they color and create. Watch the whole process through the see-through dome that locks in place until the crayons are completely melted and molded. In about 20 minutes, you can make three new crayons in your favorite hues or create new colors by melting together different colored wax pieces. A "tip switch" automatically shuts off the Crayon Maker if it accidentally tips over. Put the finishing touches on your new crayons by writing the color names on adhesive labels. Set includes 18 labels, along with "cog and wheel" shaped decals for decorating the Crayon Maker. Requires one 60-watt candelabra light bulb (not included). Colors may vary.

Age: 6-14 years

We have had great success with this toy. I have a 6 & 3 year old & they love making their own crayons. I didn't have trouble with leakage & the light did not go out until the crayon pieces were fully melted. One tip I have is to put the crayon mold into the refrigerator after it has been filled. The "new" crayons will come out much easier & cleaner after being chilled. I think this is a great toy & was pleased that it did what it promised.

Great product. It was a hit!

I bought this for my son for his birthday. We used it at his party and the kids loved making their own, many colored crayons. The crayon colors come out swirled. Even the 12 year olds loved making their own crayons.

There are some neat safety features with this toy. First, the lid locks in-place while the wax is hot and doesn't allow little fingers to touch until it's cool. Second, if the toy is knocked over the light bulb turns itself off.

What's required that is not included is a screwdriver and a 60 watt candelabra light bulb. We read and followed the instructions and had no problems.

There really wasn't any cleaning needed and we had no mess with it. We have played with this a few times since his party and it was as fun as the first time.

Your kids (and you!) will have lots of fun with this.

What FUN!!!

We purchased this toy for the family and it is so fun to play. We all take turns deciding on what color crayons to make and everyone enjoys watching them melt and pour into the molds.

We had read some of the reviews prior to buying it and were a little concerned about those that said it didn't melt very well or didn't fill the molds, but we didn't have any of those problems. It's been a great addition to our art area and I would recommend it to others.

What FUN!!!!

Oh, cool! This thing is great!

I got one of the Crayola Crayon Makers earlier this year, and my kids LOVE it! They've spent hours making swirly colored crayons unlike anything you can buy. You never get the same crayon twice! They've even made new sets of crayons to give to others.

We have TONS of old crayons in tubs around the house. This product gives those old crayons new life, while giving my kids creative fun. They've made hundreds of crayons so far, and the unit is holding up great.

I recommend this product wholeheartedly!

TONS of fun!!!!

This is a great toy!!! There are wonderful safety measures such as a locking lid that won't open during the whole melt and mold process. There is also a feature that only allows it to run when it's flat on a surface. It does take about 20 minutes to complete the entire process, but it is worth it!!
