. 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.
