Kids Corner: Tie-Dye Crayon Maker by Hannah

Sometimes I don't have the "special" crayons I need. So I made this machine to make some. This is how it works.

First, there's someone on the lever on one side. Then, the other person climbs up the ladder and jumps off the lever. (The lever has cushions.) After that, when that person lands on the lever, the other person flings up over the board and lands in the bucket of wax. The wax splatters into the stencil and fills it up. Next, the girl climbs out of the wax and goes over to the bucket. She scoops up some color and pours it into the wax. Lastly, they wait for about two hours and they have a "special" colored, or "tie-dye" crayon.

So, if you don't have a "special" color you need, maybe you could use this. It would be very helpful, and your pictures would be exactly how you want them.
