Still too dangerous for kids. Get an inexpensive crock pot--KMart or a
store like that ($10)--melt the crayons on the High setting, then keep
them liquid on Low. These pots were meant to be operated for hours at a
time, won't accidentally tip, and are the safest way to handle hot
liquids.
Best wishes,
