- Hi, neighbour!

Meet Victoria.

- Hi, Victoria!

- (Dad): She's going to give us a tour of the crayon factory.

First, crayons start as a really hot liquid.

- (Elaina): Then a secret ingredient is added.

- (Dad): This white powder makes the liquid thick and the orange powder makes it orange.

The liquid is poured into something called a mould, where it cools off and becomes hard.

- (Elaina): The mould gives the crayon its shape.

- (Dad): The machine scrapes off the extra dried wax, and that will be used to make more crayons.

- (Elaina): Now they look like crayons!

- (Dad): The machine takes all the crayons and puts them in a row.

- (Elaina): Off to the label machine!

- (Dad): That's the machine that wraps the crayons with labels one by one.

- (Elaina): A label is the paper that goes around a crayon.

- (Dad): A person has to do one final check to be sure each crayon is just right.

(Elaina laughing) - (Elaina): Victoria wanted to help check the crayons too.

There are so many orange crayons!

- (Dad): All the different colours are brought together in a big room.

- (Elaina): It takes a lot of people to make a crayon!

- (Dad): It sure does!

All the colours are put into this machine.

- (Elaina): Then they get put into boxes.

- (Dad): Every box has one crayon of each colour.

The smaller boxes are put into bigger boxes.

(Elaina laughing) - (Elaina): That's a big box!

- (Dad): Then the crayons are packed up and sent to stores so families and children can enjoy them.

- (Elaina): And that's how people make crayons!
