Count me as one who hadn't ever heard of the Crayon Maker until you
mentioned it. I checked out the site and this little machine look pretty
interesting. Tell us what you've done with this thing. The price of $29.99
sounds fairly steep if it doesn't really work to save you time of make
something unique that's really usable. Have you done a project using the
results of the crayons yet? Do they hold together well? Can the kids do it
by themselves? Middle school kid level? Toodles....Bunki
