Don't have one that's still hasn't been used yet?

Make your own mold.

Or he can ask for a crayon at a place that offers those drawing things with a kids meal and never return it

make one?

get a pipe, fill it, push out log, get the crayon out of the tube, cut, sharpen one end

or do the logical thing and take it to the next level; use legos for a mold and charge extra for that

Crayola actually made a thing for melting down old crayons.
You can usually pick them up on ebay for $20 give or take.

If your only making new crayons out of ones you find isn't that "lost wax casting"?

>>1196804

Ha! If that was sold today the teller couldn't let that leave their checkout without you flashing ID to prove you were over 18

Cast a crayon shape in silicone, then a positive cast in plaster. Lay out several plaster casts to make aluminum moulds.

Alternatively, make a plain cylinder of wax and then turn it on a lathe into individual crayons.

Crayon swarf sure smells good.

> not using your dick to make penis shaped crayons.

>>1196804 got one for my kid for about 5 Liberties. I never tossed out a crayon so he's set for life. Can always get more free crayons from ordering off the child's menu.

like this?

>>1197045
No, I wanted the colours to be black.

obvious answer is obvious. Make a mold to make tubes with 1/2" or 3/8" pvc pipe. cut to length, cap.
pour, use appropriate size dowels to push out of pipe when solid.
Then, sharpen in a crayon sharpener. toss shavings back in to color sorting to be remelted later.
real issue is making the paper wraps/grips look nice

it's called a 'restaurant'.
