Honeysticks beeswax crayons are handmade using 100% pure New Zealand beeswax and Food Grade Pigments for Color. They are safe for infants, kids and children of all ages. Contains no paraffin wax or cheap fillers. The unique chubby shape of Honeysticks makes them easier for small hands to hold, but much harder for small hands to break! Honeysticks 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) diameter. The beeswax used to create Honeysticks is a natural by-product of honey production. This sustainable process causes minimal impact on the environment and gives the crayons a wonderful honey scent. Let your little ones express their inner artist with a stunning range of twelve eye catching, crayon colors. Crayon material easily bonds to the paper, poster or artboard.
