Kristen,

How old are the kids?

    My nieces have wax carved with me using tools. They are 8 & 10 years
    old. They were using "Sierra red injection wax" from Sassounian in
    Downtown Los Angeles: 800-544-4419 (they will ship). The wax comes in
    big blocks that you can break just to give them a small piece. 

    I use this as a build-up wax that you can then carve into or only do
    a build up on a piece of sheet wax. I pretty much limit them to an
    alcohol burner- close supervision and one tool. They have sooo much
    fun with it. 

    You can also get the sculpting wax, kinda like playdoh (sp?) if you
    don't want to use the beeswax. Not sure how expensive the beeswax
    is, but the sculpting wax is not expensive. 

    If you want a small piece of the sierra red, drop me a line and I'll
    stick one in the mail for you to try. 

Amery
