To kids and to those who remain young at heart, crayons will always be part of who we are. Crayons will always evoke feelings of nostalgia of that day when we first held that shiny red crayon to color a sad and lifeless looking apple, to that day when we finally finished an entire coloring book and while managing to stay within the lines. With the Crayola Crayon Maker, both kids and their parents will surely enjoy the experience of having to create their own crayons, needless to say bathe in pride when using these creations.
The entire crayon making process is far from being rocket science: in fact, it is so simple that they were able to compress the entire manufacturing process into the Crayola Crayon Maker. What this crayon maker does is to basically work with crayon nubs and bits, melt them, and mold them into entirely new crayons. With this power to create your own crayons, the possibilities are endless!
With the Crayola Crayon Maker, you might be able to do without those 150-piece crayon sets anymore. Or you can expand your crayon collection by creating your own unique colors (the set even comes with sticker labels that give you the power to name the colors that you have created). You can spend hours, to days, to weeks, with this little gadget and still remain mesmerized not only by the entire crayon making process, but also the final crayons produced.
This crayon making set is a delight kids are sure to enjoy along with their parents. Kids can get wild with their ideas for new color mixes, while parents can give suggestions, praises, or other academic input (solid to liquid, and back to solid transformations, anyone?). Talk about fun and educational!
This crayon making set by Crayola retails for about $ 50 USD – a price totally worth the fun kids can get from this educational set. And in the end, not only the kids benefit from this gadget – even parents will be surprised by how much this gadget will give them a good enough time, in addition to the bonding time they have with their kids.

Have you ever, as a kid, ever watched one of those informative TV programs where they show how different things are being made or, better yet, been to one of these visits to a manufacturing plant of sorts? One of the most exciting for me as a kid (and apparently, for many kids I knew and know) was one of those shows where they showed how paper, pencils, and crayons were being made. Crayola has found means of bringing the manufacturing plant to the homes, however, with the new Crayola Crayon Maker.
The Crayola Crayon Maker essentially takes on the role of a crayon manufacturing line in the form of a toy. Where the manufacturing plant makes crayons for the billions of kids that use them for school, this portable crayon maker is good enough for one child, or an entire household. What this gadget basically does is melt crayon bits (could be from old crayons that children hate to use once broken or worn out), mold to a crayon shape, and voila! You have yourself a new set of crayons!
This crayon maker set is perfect for dealing with those tantrums brought about by broken crayons. Broken and old crayons have just as much as a right as new crayons to look good, and kids have as much as a right as other kids to have the best-looking crayons, right?
Another amazing thing about the Crayola Crayon Maker is its ability to explore creativity. The thing with crayons is that unlike paint, you can’t just mix them to get to the perfect color that you want or need. With this crayon maker in tow, though, your kid might just get that chance to make the perfect-colored crayon she needs for her next work of art. If she wants a Yellow Yellow Green for her flowers (instead of the standard Yellow or Yellow Green), then she can make that color into a reality, just exactly the way she wants the color to come out.
This mini crayon factory is a perfect gift to any kid, if what you are looking for is something creative, educational, and fun. Bring the science of crayon making to your home, and who knows? You might even end up enjoying the whole experience as much as your kids will.

For a kid (and even for some adults), anything that involves color is sure to be lots of fun. In fact, the only thing that beats the fun brought about by color is the adventure of having to make things. For kids, crayons and building blocks are the ultimate toys guaranteed to bring hours of fun. With the Crayola Crayon Maker, however, kids might just toss those building blocks to the side (while holding on tight to those crayons).
The Crayola Crayon Maker is just exactly what its name states: it is a crayon maker. Simply pop on a candelabra bulb (as specified in the instructions that come with the entire set), bring in some crayons for melting, and you’re good to go. For kids who hate crayons that have snapped into pieces (I know I did when I was a kid), and wish to forever keep their crayons looking brand-new, a few hours with this baby out to produce new sets of crayons that look like they’ve just been purchased from the store. More creative kids who wish to make their own color palettes will surely have fun creating new colors from their old crayons. This set even comes with crayon label stickers that are sure to extend your child’s creativity from making colors to naming their creations (how does Mike Violet and Sara Pinkie Red sound?).
The Crayola Crayon Maker set isn’t only for kids with a creative side – it is also perfect for the future scientists! Experiencing the entire crayon making process without having to go to a manufacturing plant is sure to tickle the curiosity of little Einsteins out there. Aside from being mesmerized by the melting and molding processes, parents can also include general science input, specifically in phases of matter, temperature, and whatnot.
From creativity, to the value of recycling, to academics, this crayon maker set covers it all in a fun way! Even parents get to join the fun, too! This ought to bring hour after hour of melting and molding fun! Just one thing to watch out for, though: You might end up with more crayons than you can ever handle.
