Crayola Crayon Maker
Does anyone have it??? The kids want it, and I think they would love it. I was thinking about getting it for them as a joint gift but I won't if it is junk.

Re: Crayola Crayon Maker
I want to know the same. DS wants it and my mom was going to get it for him. I don't want it if it:
1. Smells bad
2. Doesn't actually melt the crayon.
3. Is a fire hazard.
But otherwise I'm all for it! haha
Santa got it for them last year and it didn't work. I think it was probably just our machine, not that they all don't work. It just never heated up.
I returned it (I was going to exchange it, but just flat out returned), which led to questions about how you return things Santa brought, but I said that he worked something out with Target. You get a gift card and they send it back to the North Pole for you...
I'm coming in late on this, but wanted to let you know my experience with it.
We got this for DS last year for Christmas and we also got it for our niece. Both LOVE it. We use the broke crayons in it. You can mix and match any colors you want, it runs on a light bulb, so no fire hazard. It does melt the crayons, though it can take a little bit longer for some crayons, depending on the brand, most melt within the time amount given (there is a timer button that you turn, and when that goes off the crayons are melted and it releases a trigger that will allow you to flip the trays down into the crayon molds. When the crayons are being melted, there is a safty latch that keeps the kids from lifting up the lid, therefore they wont get burnt. I don't think there is a smell, now obviously if you are using scented crayons, then there will be a smell, but the regular crayons, there is no smell.
