Honeysticks Beeswax Crayons: A Natural Art Supply Guide for Kids
, by Hello Charlie Blogs, 1 min reading time
Children love to draw, scribble, colour and create.
But when you are choosing art supplies for young children, ingredients and shape matter. Crayons often end up in little hands, on tables, on clothes and sometimes near mouths.
Honeysticks beeswax crayons are a lovely option for families looking for natural, durable and child-friendly crayons.
What are Honeysticks crayons made from?
Honeysticks crayons are made from pure New Zealand beeswax and food-grade pigments.
They are designed to be simple, natural and safe for creative play. The beeswax also gives them a gentle honey scent that many families love.

Why choose beeswax crayons?
Beeswax crayons are firm, smooth and long lasting.
They are less waxy-feeling than many conventional crayons and can be easier for young children to grip when made in chunky shapes.
Honeysticks are especially useful for toddlers and preschoolers because the shapes are designed for developing hands.
Different Honeysticks shapes
Honeysticks offers several crayon shapes for different stages.
- Originals: short and chunky for little hands.
- Jumbos: thicker crayons for older toddlers and children.
- Triangles: shaped to help children develop grip.
- Petals: flat, easy-grip shapes for creative mark making.
You can explore current options in Honeysticks Beeswax Crayons and our wider Art & Creative Toys collection.
Are they suitable for babies?
Crayons are not baby teethers or food.
Even natural crayons should be used under supervision and according to the age recommendation on the product. If your child is still mouthing everything, sit with them during drawing time and pack the crayons away afterwards.
