The Honeysticks Story
Honeysticks was born in a preschool in Aotearoa, New Zealand, when our founder noticed little ones putting crayons in their mouths. A closer look revealed some not-so-great ingredients: paraffin wax and printing pigments that didn’t belong anywhere near curious kids.
So, Honeysticks was created — with a mission that still guides us today: to make safer, planet-friendly creative tools that kids love to use.
We’re a true family business, powered by parents and art lovers. As dads, we care deeply about nurturing early development, inspiring creativity, and leaving behind a better world for our kids to grow into.
No nasties. No compromises. Just pure creativity.
