Modeling Beeswax

I have been wanting to order this modeling beeswax for ages. I have seen so many cute ideas here and there to help Emma with her phonics and spelling through hands on activities.
That's so much more fun than worksheets right?? Don't let me fool you, there are lots of worksheets too, we just need some variety sometimes.
We started "working with" the beeswax yesterday, learning to warm our hands to make it more manageable to mold our letters. Emma loved forming the letters of her name.
I plan on having her make rhyming words and sight words out of this too.
The best thing about it is that it never dries out and can be remolded again and again.
It smells so good too.
HERE is where I got ours!

VERY cool!
How does it store?
Meaning, does it go all hard-like or can it be re-used?
