I am dying to learn how to make GOOD beeswax crayons.

I have tried a few recipes I found online, but, am totally unimpressed. I have a TON of beeswax and really want to make some for my kiddo's. Any ideas where I can look?

I have beekeepers near me and a lot of beezwax as well..I want to know this too.. sound fun!!

they have those crayon maker thingies at toysrus..a cool recipe would be awsome..

Are the crayon maker thingies molds for crayons? I would love to find some molds. We have so many broken crayons and no one wants to use them because they don't look fresh and new.

I have used........

Cute candy molds to make new crayons from old. We found some cute ones with frogs, turtles, etc. Also, smaller soap molds work well too! They are not shaped like standard crayons, but, my kids love them even more!

the crayon maker thingie has molds and a little oven thing to melt crayon bits in...a regular mold would probably be ok as you don't need to melt down beezwax as you would probably have to melt it down but it sounds super cool for broken up crayon bits...

candy mold places have all kinds of things that would work...

Can I just use pure beeswax and colorants?
