Honeysticks was born out of a preschool in Aotearoa, New Zealand, when our founder noticed children chewing crayons. Upon digging, she discovered they contain nasty ingredients like paraffin wax and toxic printing pigments - and should not go anywhere near little mouths! With this knowledge, Honeysticks was born - inspired by a mission that still stands today - to create outstanding creative products that are safer for kids and better on the planet. Honeysticks is a true family business. As parents themselves, Will & Luke care passionately about creative and developmental products that ignite magic in children's minds and minimize environmental impact - no compromises.
