About this item
- PURE BEESWAX AND FOOD GRADE FOR PEACE OF MIND: Handmade in New Zealand using Natural Beeswax and Food Grade Pigments for Color. Made without the petroleum-based paraffin wax and nasty fillers that are used to make some other crayons. You'll feel and smell the Honeysticks difference - no waxy residue, no chemical smell... just the natural scent of pure beeswax! The safest choice for babies, toddlers and preschoolers from ages 1 plus.
- PERFECT FIRST CRAYONS: The unique chubby shape of Honeysticks toddler crayons makes them easier for small hands to hold in a palm grasp, but much harder for small hands to break! These toddler art supplies have been "tested in preschools and the kids have tried to break them but they just can't. Plus they love the smell!" Each Crayon is 2.2 inches (55mm) long and 0.8 inches (20mm) in diameter.
- SUSTAINABLE & LOW IMPACT: The beeswax used to create Honeysticks Non-Toxic Crayons is a natural by-product of honey production. This sustainable process causes minimal impact on the environment and gives our Crayons a wonderful beeswax scent. Proudly plastic free.
- 12 EXCITING COLORS TO STIMULATE CREATIVITY: Your little one can express their inner artist with an exciting range of 12 color crayons. The Crayons color well, easily bonding to the paper creating great toddler coloring and drawing experiences for your little artist.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2025Color: ClassicVerified PurchaseI recently got the Honeysticks 100% Pure Beeswax Crayons for my toddler, who is just starting to explore coloring, and I couldn’t be happier with them! The chunky design is perfect for little hands to grip easily, making it much simpler for my child to practice coloring without frustration.
I love that these crayons are made from natural beeswax and food-grade colors, giving me peace of mind knowing they’re completely non-toxic and safe if they end up in a curious little mouth. The colors are vibrant and smooth, gliding easily on paper without requiring much pressure—perfect for little ones just learning to create.
The functionality of these crayons is fantastic—they don’t break easily, they don’t leave waxy residue on hands, and they’re easy to clean up. Plus, they don’t roll away like thinner crayons, which is great for keeping coloring time frustration-free!
Another great feature is their durability—unlike traditional crayons that snap easily, these are sturdy and long-lasting, even with rough toddler use. Plus, the fact that they’re eco-friendly and handmade in New Zealand is a big bonus!
If you're looking for safe, high-quality, and functional crayons for your little one, I highly recommend these. They make coloring fun and easy while being safe for tiny artists!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2025Color: ClassicVerified PurchaseI never regret purchasing this crayon
It is eco- friendly especially for a baby
Who isn't walking.
I definitely recommend to any mother who needs to start their little toddler with a learning tool, this is perfect
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2025Color: ClassicVerified PurchaseThese crayons are perfect for toddlers! The chunky size is easy for them to grasp and use. They are soft enough that the coloring is easy and you don’t have to press hard. They are also very durable, we haven’t had any break even after they’ve been thrown.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016Color: ClassicVerified PurchaseI purchased four types of beeswax crayons for my kids. I have all the crayons out of their respective packages and in the same "crayon bucket" so my kids can choose freely among them. They have a clear favorite and I have a different favorite.
Their least favorite are the Filana Crayons. Filana Organic Beeswax Stick Crayons, Set of 12 in a Carton They consciously avoid these crayons and my 2 year-old throws fits if he has to use one of these because someone else has the color he wants (from the other brands). They also get annoyed with these because the round shape allows them to easily roll away, or off the table. The pigment saturation on these is "translucent" in comparison to the others and they are harder/not as soft. I was attracted to these crayons because of the Organic claims, however after receiving them, examining the packaging and checking their website, this appears to be a deceptively false claim. In the USA, a company cannot legally use the word "Organic" on its packaging unless it is Certified Organic by the FDA or other licensed FDA Certifier and contains at least 90% minimum Certified Organic content. (We belong to the Organic Consumer Association and we are a passionately organic family. We are not experts, but we are reasonably informed about organic things.) Firstly, there is no Certified Organic Seal displayed on this packaging so it appears to be yet another fake "organic" product from an unknown company capitalizing on Amazon's weak seller filters. I checked their website which claims the crayons are a "blend of natural petroleum-free waxes" and contain "20% certified organic beeswax" and another page on their site claims "25% organic beeswax". Nowhere (at the time of this review) is a full disclosure of ingredients (or any mention of other ingredients for that matter). First of all, if it is only 20% beeswax, it is NOT A "BEESWAX" CRAYON. Second of all, if this measly 20% is the only organic thing in it (which I doubt even this is true), then IT IS NOT ORGANIC. Since they don't mention what the other "natural petroleum-free waxes" actually are, my guess is they are mostly soy or palm wax, which in the case of soy, (if it is not certified organic) is entirely GMO and loaded with PESTICIDE and HERBICIDE TOXINS. There is a "Notice, this product contains soy." warning on the Filana package. In sum, my kids don't like these crayons and the company is making bogus claims and illegally exploiting the Organic label. On to the next...
My kids like these Faber Castell Beeswax crayons. Faber Castell FC129124 Jumbo Triangular Beeswax Crayon, Assorted Color, 1.75" Height, 4.38" Width, 9.75" Length (Pack of 24) There are no claims on the packaging or website about the beeswax ratios or types of waxes or other ingredients, but these crayons are smooth and rich in color and my kids like the triangular shape that doesn't roll away. This is an established art supplies brand that has been around for generations. If I am able to track down the full ingredient list, I will post it.
Lastly, their favorites are these International Arrivals Natural Beeswax Crayons International Arrivals Natural Beeswax Crayons, Set of 24 (133-50) They are also triangular in shape, but the clincher is the richest, smoothest color. My kids love them. I am not familiar with this brand, but a quick look at their website provides honest full disclosure of the ingredients of these crayons. While I very much appreciate the disclosure, I am not too thrilled about the ingredients... "Crayon Wax Contains: Paraffin and Hydrocarbon waxes, stearic acid (pure), Talc (Mg3H2(SiO3)4), Hydrogenated Palm Oil, benzenamine (oxidized), Petrolatum, beeswax, Distillates (petroleum), hydrotreated light paraffinic, synthetic coloring." The first listed ingredients are "Parrafin and Hydrocarbon waxes". These crayons are mostly petroleum. Though there is a reference to a bee on the package, they are not called "beeswax crayons", nor are there any deceptive claims to "natural or organic". This company has more integrity than the first two.
My favorites are the Honey Sticks Beeswax Crayons Honeysticks 100% Pure Beeswax Crayons (12 Pack) Natural, Non Toxic, Safe for Babies, Toddlers and Kids, Handmade in New Zealand, For 1 Year Plus These are my favorites because they are 100% beeswax and some pigments. They smell sweet just like our beeswax candles. They are slightly sticky like real beeswax and thus, they are the most natural and least toxic of the lot. They are not as smooth, nor as rich as the others, but my priority is safe and non-toxic art fun so these are the clear winners to me. As far as my kids go, they like the chunky shape that is different from the others, but these leave small wax crumbs on the paper and the color isn't as rich or as smooth as the others.
In summary, it doesn't look like much actual beeswax is in any of the first three, however, none of them have the heavy noxious petroleum smell of typical crayons so there is improvement in that regard. I am aware that art supplies (pigments and their various mediums) are notoriously toxic so this is an area where I am especially careful with my kids. I am glad I found the Honey Sticks. If I took away all the other crayons, my kids would be happy with the honeysticks. They aren't "artist quality", but they are lovely 100% beeswax crayons with no fake claims. Just what I was looking for!
Thanks for reading, I hope this review is helpful!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2025Color: ClassicVerified PurchaseI have tried various crayons for my toddler and preschool grandchildren, and these are the best I have found! They are a little pricey, but I like them that much!! Honeysticks are easy for them to grip, glide smoothly, and make bold, vibrant colors on their pictures— especially compared to other crayons that barely show up!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2025Color: ClassicVerified PurchaseThese crayons are so small! The product pictures are very misleading. I give them stars for being all-natural beeswax crayons that work as any crayon would.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2025Color: ClassicVerified PurchaseThe scent is stronger than I expected but it doesn't bother me. I didn't see the little label about the blooming at first and was confused what the white residue was, so good to know it's normal for bees wax. Colors are decently vivid. Can't wait for my one year old to try them!

5.0 out of 5 stars - size is good so that it fits in the hand of the ...
Color: ClassicVerified PurchaseAs my son is growing up, I didn't want him to discover pens/pencils/crayons/colours and paint the walls. So, I bought him an easel. I was searching for crayons when I came up on a blog which listed the crayons in order based on whether they were organic plus other parameters. These were at the top of the list. I just grabbed them.
Pros:
- size is good so that it fits in the hand of the kid.
- they are organic
- colours a little light.
- good number of colours
Cons:
- scent is a bit strong
- price, I am sure there will be others at a price less than these. I just couldn't find them :)
Summary: I splurged because this was the first time my son handled crayons, and I was not sure if he was not going to put it in his mouth. He did eventually, but I could rest easy knowing they were organic. Will I buy them again? I am not sure because of the price.

Dani BooksReviewed in Italy on May 4, 2025
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfetti per un bimbo piccolo
Color: ClassicVerified PurchasePresi per un bimbo di 14 mesi. Come primo approccio con i colori sono perfetti. Piccoli ma tozzi, perfetti per le sue manine. I colori sono un po' più "scarichi" rispetto ai pastelli a cera comuni, probabilmente perché fatti con cera d'api... Ma vanno benissimo così, soprattutto considerando che continua a portarseli alla bocca. Il profumo é piacevole.
