Thanks Peter,

It does sound like a fun idea. One of these days I will have the time to really give that a serious try.

Also it seems that there are people who melt down crayons and use the melted wax as paint. This practice is apparently not toxic.
After asking around I learned that mixing dry pigment with wax IS toxic. I'm sorry if I've misguided anyone and CANNOT recommend wax as a nontoxic medium.

The Ralph Mayer handbook has a couple of index references for wax crayons but when I looked on the listed pages I couldn't find any information on that subject.
