That thing has saved me tons on crayons- my kids like making new ones almost more than the coloring.

This has a melter plate on top of the machine that gets hot from a light bulb , then the melted crayon pours into a mold to make 4 crayons.

My kidlets like to save up similar colors and make up new color names. I use regular office labels to be the new crayon label and write whatever name they create on it. My 8 year old dram queen daughter might name an orange crayon “Maine Sunset” while my son who is 5 might name a green crayon “Oscar the Grouch Green.” It’s fun to let them get creative in naming their newly minted colors!

I used to do it as a kid and we are doing it at my cookie party this year to decorate my big diningroom picture window. Last year we did snowflakes.
