Honeysticks were developed by a New Zealand preschool teacher who was looking for safe and natural crayons for her pupils. Realising that her only option was to import paraffin wax filled non-toxic crayons, the idea for Honeysticks was born. Honeysticks is a New Zealand owned and operated company. Honeysticks beeswax crayons are handmade from 100% pure New Zealand beeswax with non-toxic pigments. They contain no paraffin wax or cheap fillers and they are one of the only (if not the only) crayon on the market that is made with 100% beeswax.
