An apparatus for making crayons is provided. The apparatus includes a base that
houses a heating component, a melt pan disposed to absorb heat from the heating
component, a mold, and a cover. The melt pan receives crayon material and contains
it as the heating component increases the temperature, causing the crayon material
to liquefy. The liquefied crayon material can then be drained by the user of the
device, into a mold with crayon-shaped cavities. A cover prevents access to the
melt pan and the mold during particular operating conditions of the apparatus.
