So awesome
We received this in exchange for an ho eat review. We were really excited to try it out when it arrived. Our excitement grew and grew the more we created our amazing artwork. This is hands down one of the best Crayola products ever. I recommend this for everyone it’s a lot of fun and a very unique was to create master pieces.

My daughter loved it!
This is a great electric toy. It comes with a crayon meltin tool & stand, transformer, label cutter & cleaning tool, 8 crayons, 3 paper sheets and instruction sheet. It was very easy to use it following quick start guide. I loved that you can use it on different materials, not only paper, but wood and cardboard as well! It dries quickly and doesn’t make any mess. My daughter loved her new toy!

Love it!
This is a lot of fun to use. It makes great 3D art. Super easy to use.
Remember when reading reviews- this is a child’s art tool, it’s not going to create “professional” results.
***I have a question and a suggestion.
Has Crayola considered selling replacement crayon wrapper cutters?
Crayons should jump on that market before someone else does. I know the included tool will eventually go dull.
If looking for suggestions of improving product I would make a bigger “wax supply” window. This allows the user to see how much of a color they have left and what the upcoming color is.
Thank you for continuing to create great products to foster creativity in our young minds .

Great for larger projects
Love the idea of this crayon melter but it has its flaws. The kit includes everything you need to get started. The crayons are easy to load and the heat up time is fairly quick. This is good for somewhat larger projects where you’re not trying to provide small details as it’s very easy to create blobs of crayon wax. You also have to be careful and not slide your hand against freshly drawn crayon because it will smear. However, the dry time is reasonable. The pen does clogs every now and then but that’s not that big of a drawback. You do have a learning curve to it as well. The pen is finicky and it has to be held a certain way for it to work well. The best part is all those broken crayons you had no use for before will now have some purpose! This is a fun toy for creative kids who love to draw, color and they will have a ton of fun!

Not impressed
I bought this product hoping it would be a less messy way of decorating pumpkins but I was sorely mistaken. The crayons kept melting in the bottom but wouldn’t come out unless I pushed fairly firmly on the pumpkin. It was a whole different mess.

Stopped working after three minutes
Bought this yesterday. My son was very excited to use it. He was using it for three minutes or so, then it stopped working. The light won't turn on, and it won't heat up. Returned it. Was considering if I should buy another one or not.

So much fun!
I got this for my daughter and it turns out, it is also really fun for adults. The crayon melter can melt more than one color at a time, it can do a whole rainbow and without the colors running together making an ugly mess. It's so cool and super relaxing melting the crayons to the paper. This was family fun to the max and it makes the perfect present for the kids and possibly adults in your life.

Crayon Melter, Don’t buy it
The Crayon melter is not what I expected! It’s really only good to scribble and make a mess! There is no coloring in the lines with it or neat lines! Very disappointed with it!

Perfect for kids!
The crayola crayon melter has been awesome so far! It melts the crayons so you can use them on so many different kinds of surfaces, from glass, pottery to wood or a canvas! You can get creative and make a 3d look or whatever you want, the possibilities are endless! Not to mention it's a great way to get rid of all those pesky broken crayons without throwing them away in the trash! Also, I love that it doesn't get too hot to where my daughter can't handle the pen herself! Would definitely recommend!

Yeah, NO
Got this for my 9 yo daughter. Worst mistake ever. She was so excited to get this from santa. Three times using it and it doesn't work. It worked long enough to get through the practice sheet. Now she's crying saying that she has tried everything (and myself also) and Santa brought her a broken toy. The instructions are vague. Very little troubleshooting tips. Never again will i (santa) buy another Crayola product of this nature. DO NOT GET UNLESS YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH A BROKEN HEARTED CHILD.

Very Interesting
I got this complimentary about a couple of weeks ago! The crayon melter has its up's and downs'! This does entertain the kids for hours and a cool new way to color. You plug it in and it heats up really quickly. The crayon wax dries really quickly on paper but still warm to the touch. I really like the Crayon Melter but I did run into some problems. Here a few it's really hard to make a straight line, the crayon pieces melt really fast, cord is really short and the
crayons get stuck. Don't get me wrong it's wonderful idea for broken crayon use and was able to work through some problems easily. The cord is really short so I grabbed an extension cord (if you don't have one I would recommend getting one). With the crayons getting stuck I just used a q-tip to nudge the crayon piece further down. I was able to get around most problems and truly think it's a wonder product. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone looking for a gift for a kid.

Waste of money
My daughter age 7 got this for Christmas and never even got to finish the fish project because a gray non crayola crayon was placed inside. All crayons should melt but this 1/4 inch piece has made the entire thing stop working. There is no way to clean the crayon out.
Seriously what young child is going to know to only put a certain brand crayon in!
This is a waste of money !!
I normally love Crayola but there should be a way to fix clogs and remove crayons.
I would not recommend this product at all.

Lots of fun!
I got this for my son and we love it! It's a great way to get use out if broken crayons, and it's a great way for little ones to be creative. The wax comes out smoothly, the pen stays cool, and it heats up quickly. We just cover the table with newspaper and let our little Picasso have at it! I definitely recommend this if you are looking for some outside the box art time.

Great fun
I bought this several months back to use in the Kids Club that I run so it has gotten a lot of use. The kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! It keeps them entertained and it is something "special" they can create with. It is also great for repurposing all those old and broken crayons.
I wish there was a longer cord and more coloring templates.

Fun to play with!
We’ve had this for a few days and so far so good! Excellent product to use for those broken crayons we’ve hoarded throughout the year! Don’t have to worry about my daughter burning herself because of the low heat setting. My daughter loves to color so this is another fun way for her to color her beautiful art! Good job Crayola!

Its a cool concept
I wanted to love this crayola crayon melter, but it got a little frustrating when the pen would clog and the crayons got stuck. When it's working properly it's a really cool toy that has the potential to keep kids entertained for a long time. I think there is bit of a learning curve also, so maybe we'll get better at using it.

Messy
I thought this would be a really fun activity for my 5 year old. She played and colored for about 10 minutes and was done. It is quit messy but thankfully comes off counters/tables easily with using your finger nails. The heating up of the crayon didnt take too long and I like we can use any crayon, not 1 specifically made for this. I also didn't like it only came with a couple papers to doodle on.

Don’t waste your money
I was so excited to get this for my kids and for myself for art projects. It is the most messiest thing ever. I gave it enough time to best up and the rollerball and the end kept getting stuck so it was hard to even draw with it. I wish I would’ve kept the picture of the practice papers. I couldn’t even write with it.

I don't know who loves this more, me or the kiddo. We literally had hours of fun melting crayons into different designs. Can't wait for Halloween so we can do a pumpkin with this. Haven't tried yet, but going to see if all my sons broken crayons will work in it as well.

It's ok
I've been wanting this for a long time and I have to say I was disappointed. It's not awful but definitely not as cool as the videos make it look. Constantly have to stop to wipe off nozzle. Lines don't come out as best as they make it seem. Not worth it.

Didn’t work at all!
I bought three of these melters for my classroom from Michael’s Canada. I tried the first one and nothing came out! We waited for almost an hour it got warm but nothing came out of the meltor. Unfortunately, I’ve paid over $100 for these items and I am very disappointed. Not one drop of wax came out,

Not Functioning
I followed the instructions and tried to use the crayon melter. Instead of flowing freely the crayon rather only came out as blots.

Nice concept but it gets hopelessly clogged
The melter is a very cool idea - you melt down crayons and the melter-pen allows the crayons to flow and you can draw things and create art, etc. - my daughter loves art and I figured this would be a great device to do some cool works of art with all the old crayons we have collected over the years - they're all in small pieces, so I thought it would be perfect.
With that said, I found that the way the pen works has a few flaws in my opinion and I'd like to know from Crayola if the one I bought is malfunctioning or if that's the way it normally works - first, the pen needs to be plugged in while you draw with it - if you don't keep it plugged in, the pen doesn't keep the wax hot enough to flow - is that correct? That's what I've found. Also, the melted crayon wax inside the pen gets hopelessly clogged - so if you want to make some art, you are going to use a few pieces of paper to get the crayon wax flowing - I've had to force the wax through the writing end with the blue paper-stripping plastic device they provide in the box. You have to jam the pencil shaped device down the crayon feeder until the clogged wax goes out the writing part. It seems like the broken crayons are getting clogged and the pen doesn't write like it is supposed to write/draw -- many times, you're running the pen over paper expecting a thick flowing line, but the pen produces only faint wax scratches because it's clogged and something is keeping the wax from getting through the writing end. Has anyone experienced this?
When the pen does work, it produces nice lines, but it's been frustrating and my kids lose interest when it doesn't work the way it's marketed. So I'd like to know from Crayola if this is the way it works or if I've gotten a 'lemon' in the one I received.

Great New Crayola Product
My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed using the Crayola Melter. They were able to blend different colors to come with their very own creations and played for hours and we now have an option to get rid of some overused crayons. Clean, Easy Fun.

Can this be used for broken crayons?
Hi Crisi,
Denny, here, and happy to help! Yes, for best results use unwrapped Crayola regular, washable, or metallic crayon pieces, as other Crayon types and brands may affect performance. Take a look at the demonstration video on this page to see how the crayon melter works. Please note, that the unit does not work with my sparkly friends from the Glitter Crayons pack.
Date published: 2022-08-19
Where do you get refill pages for crayon melter
Denny has the details! To keep the creative fun going with the Crayola Crayon Melter, check out Crayola Construction Paper or print any of the fee coloring pages we offer here at Crayola.com. Hope this helps!

Hello, we have a crayola crayon melter but lost the Power Adapter. Is it possible to buy that separately? Thanks
Denny here! The adaptor that is included in the Crayola Crayon Melter is not sold separately. I'd suggest calling 1-800-CRAYOLA to see if my pack in Consumer Care can help. Tell them Denny sent you!
Date published: 2022-06-09
How do you get the pen tip fixed & able to write again if it was used with glitter crayons accidentally?
Denny here! Although I understand accidents can happen, Glitter Crayons do not work in the Crayon Melter. For further assistance, please reach out to my friends on our Colorful Care Team at 1-800-CRAYOLA.
