Product Description
Product Description
With the Melt 'N Mold Factory from Crayola, you can use Crayola crayons to create custom swirled crayons and molded toys. This kit includes everything you need to melt, mold, and create: 24 full-size Crayola crayons in four different colors, two molds, and a mold holder. Designed for kids six and up, the Melt 'N Mold Factory gives you a fun way to transform crayon bits into new colors and toys.
The Melt 'N Mold Factory lets you create your own multicolored crayons and toys.Mix, Melt, and Mold to Create Multicolored Crayons
The Melt 'N Mold Factory makes it easy to create original color combinations and molded objects. Start with an array of crayon bits--high-contrast colors such as blue and yellow or green and orange create the best results. Then add your custom combination to the melting tray, turn the dial toward the on/off switch, and watch the colors melt and blend. When the melting process is done, simply pour the melted wax into the mold of your choice to create a brand new, one-of-a-kind crayon.
Includes Two Reusable Molds and Mold Frame
The factory comes with two reusable molds. One mold makes new crayons in the traditional shape, while the other creates two ring-shaped crayons at a time. Each mold snaps easily and securely into the holder and then attaches to the factory. The Melt 'N Mold Factory is powered by any AC outlet, so there are no batteries to replace.
Expansion Packs Expand the Fun
To expand your options and create additional fun shapes, Melt 'N Mold Factory works with any of the Crayola expansion packs (sold separately). With these packs you can make Crayon Cruisers, Crayon Critters, and more.

1. Slow melting is because you do not have the tray properly seated in the element. Once you have this resolved the crayons melt on the first try.
2. Keeping the lid down is an unnecessary safety precaution. With the lid off I can ensure the tray is seated and in contact with element. Make sure the tray tilts properly to fill the mold and can use a toothpick to swirl the colors. To release the lid, just push down and back on the yellow side tab with a butter knife.
3. You can use any broken crayons you have lying around. Take off the paper and make sure you have a single layer in the tray.
4. Use lighter colors to avoid "mud".
5. Quicken the hardening process by popping the mold in the freezer.
6. Incorporated "science" into the project by talking about changing of phases (solids to liquids), hypothesize about why some spots melt quicker than others (hot spots - the earths core is liquid lava and hot spots on the earths surface are volcanoes)
After initial disappointment, I actually really like the toy, and we can churn out rings and crayons pretty fast. Don't put the cord in a place where a kid can trip and pull the melter off the table!!
The pros are that he’s able to use it on his own, it plugs into the wall so no batteries, and the lock feature keeps the lid locked until the mold has cooled down enough to touch.
The cons are that it’s a bit time consuming, I would say each crayon batch from start to finish takes 20-30minutes. It only makes three crayons per batch so it takes awhile to get a good amount of crayons. The created crayons don’t come out cleanly. The mold makes it so the edges of the crayons are rough. This also means that there are little bits of crayon excess that end up on the floor etc. (with a crawling baby that puts every crumb in his mouth this can be a tad unnerving.) There is also a slight smell while the crayons are melting but much less than when we used to use the oven method to make our crayons.
All in all my son would spend all day making crayons if we let him, and he thinks this crayon maker is pretty great, just be aware of the cons if you’re looking for a perfectly smooth crayon a silicon mold in the oven might do a better job!
The things we have made so far such as the rings and the Barbie pendants come out very nice and smooth.
My daughter likes to add glitter, and we found that it's easiest to add glitter to the crayons before they melt and also for a little bit into the mold before pouring crayon into the mold.
The biggest drawback I see with this machine are cleaning the wax out of the tray, and also the lack of a bell that tells you when the crayons are melted and when you can unlock the machine. I think the cleaning would be difficult with any crayons, I have melted crayons in the oven and had a hard time getting the residue out of our silicone molds.
We hope that Crayola keeps making expansion packs, but so far my daughter is very happy with the rings and jewelry that she makes.
