Honeysticks Jumbo Beeswax Crayons (24-Pack)

Important note on crayons

Crayons are one of those craft staples that kids use up close — on paper, hands, walls, and sometimes even near mouths. When I’m choosing crayons, I think about the ingredients and how they’re made, because crayons are used repeatedly and often come into direct contact with skin. For me, simplicity and transparency in materials are priorities.

What I avoid in crayons

In crayons, I avoid coal tar dyes, which are synthetic colorants commonly used to achieve bright, saturated colors but aren’t simple, naturally derived pigments. I also avoid crayons with unclear or undisclosed ingredients that don’t explain what’s used to create the wax and color. Instead of synthetic fillers and ambiguous dyes, I look for crayons made from natural waxes like beeswax and pigments that are clearly described.

Product description

Honeysticks Jumbo Beeswax Crayons are a set of 24 crayons made with beeswax as the primary base and colored with natural pigments. The crayons are larger and chunkier than standard crayons, making them easier for toddlers and young kids to grip. The beeswax base gives the crayons a smooth glide on paper and tends to be less brittle than some wax alternatives.

The set includes a range of colors suitable for everyday drawing and coloring, designed with simplicity in mind rather than added extras.

What I like

I appreciate that these crayons use beeswax rather than an unspecified wax blend, and that the colors are derived from clearly described sources. The jumbo size is also helpful for little hands and early grip skills, and the overall feel of the crayons is smooth and easy to use.

Things to keep in mind

Because these crayons are made from beeswax, they may feel a bit softer in warmer conditions compared with harder wax crayons.
