Honeysticks Triangles are designed as a gentle first step into creative expression for young children. Made with simple, natural ingredients including 100% beeswax and food-grade pigments, they offer a safe and thoughtful alternative to conventional crayons, supporting a more natural approach to early mark-making and play. The unique triangular shape is carefully designed for small hands, making them easy to grasp and comfortable to hold. This shape also helps support early pencil grip development, encouraging control and coordination as toddlers begin to explore drawing for the first time. Their chunky form makes them more durable and less prone to snapping, allowing for open-ended, uninterrupted creative play. Each set includes 10 softly vibrant colours, bringing warmth and variety to early artwork. Handmade in New Zealand and packaged with recyclable materials, these crayons reflect a simple, mindful approach to childhood creativity. With no synthetic waxes or harsh chemical scents, they carry only the natural, gentle scent of beeswax, offering a calm and sensory-rich drawing experience.

ARE HONEYSTICKS CRAYONS WASHABLE? Apart from our Honeysticks Bath Crayons, our crayons are designed for paper, card and other art materials. If you do mark a garment or surface, we recommend using a cloth slightly dampened with warm water to remove the mess. ARE THERE ANY CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HONEYSTICKS PRODUCTS? Your Honeysticks must be kept out of direct sunlight, stored in a safe dry place away from children when not in use. WHAT PIGMENTS ARE USED TO CREATE YOUR COLOURS? We blend and create all our colours from food grade pigments. Although we do not make food products, by using food grade ingredients our product is safer and better for children if they happen to put them into their mouths. We use only food grade approved pigments in all of our products. DOES HONEYSTICKS CONTAIN ANY ALLERGENS? Our beeswax crayons are non-toxic and free of the top 8 allergens (Milk, Eggs, Fish ,Crustacean Shellfish, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat and Soybeans) Our bath crayons contain soy which is used to soften the crayon. These are made on the same machines as our beeswax crayons so there could be a chance of cross contamination. DO YOU USE PARRAFIN WAX IN YOUR CRAYONS? NO! Paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, coal or shale oil. We don't want any of that near kids! WHAT IS THE WHITE POWDER ON MY CRAYONS? You may see a light powdery appearance on your Honeysticks crayons. This is called Blooming. This blooming naturally forms on the surface of most beeswax after a period of time. The bloom is harmless it's actually a sign of pure beeswax and can be removed by simply wiping the crayon with a soft cloth. WHY DO MY HONEYSTICKS CRAYONS SMELL LIKE HONEY? Honeysticks uses 100% pure, sustainably sourced New Zealand beeswax to make our crayons. This has a natural and delicious beeswax scent! (While they do smell yummy, Honeysticks crayons aren't designed for eating - save that for the honey jar!). Our crayons don't contain any actual honey.
