FILANA (12 Stick Crayons) Organic Beeswax Stick Crayons, Natural, Non Toxic, Safe for Children, Handmade in The US, No Paraffin or Petroleum Waxes, Rich Colors, Glide Easily

I bought these for my child who is starting her Waldorf Form Drawing unit. I am very pleased with my purchase. My first grader loves these crayons and is super thrilled each time I bring them out. Pros: They were well packaged and arrived on time. They are very pigmented and have highly vibrant colors. They are very smooth and slide easily on paper. The colors have an almost fluid quality and takes very little pressure to get rich color. They are non-toxic, organic, made of bees-wax (25%) and do not contain any petroleum based ingredients. They are very easy for young children to use. Cons: The colors tend to come out on hands but can be easily cleaned up. Perhaps having a label may prevent this transfer. The price point is a little high but definitely on par with similar products. Overall, this is a good buy and I will update further as we continue to use.

Wish I'd gone ahead and switched to beeswax crayons years ago! These are fantastic. I wanted to try beeswax crayons for years but held off since they are expensive. Crayons were a common gift and I felt wasteful buying a different version of something we already had. But whenever we pulled out the crayons, I would think about how long it takes most crayons to break down - 100's of years! Little by little I am replacing things with natural alternatives and I wish I hadn't waited so long to make this switch. The colors are bright and vibrant. These are just as bright and vibrant as leading standard crayons like Crayola. There is a pleasant mild beeswax smell. Filani crayons have a softer feel in your hand than other standard crayons like Crayola or Prang. They go on very smoothly, perhaps comparable to using oil pastels. I don't like kids versions of things, especially art supplies, as I find it usually just means cheap and hard to use. IDK if there is an artist quality for crayons, but these are definitely not cheap kids quality. These feel like art materials, not a kids imitation. I also I am very pleased that they are made in the US. Major bonus there! These are worth the price. I will happily be donating our standard crayons and making the switch for our family.

I have been on the search for perfect natural crayon. Here is my review of the three i’ve tried. Filana, faber castell and honey sticks. Filana: I like these alot. Very nice vibrant colors. They blend well together and you can really make some nice art. Like adult nice art. They are super high quality. I like that they are all natural and Made in USA. The cardboard box they come in does get worn pretty fast. Faber castell: also very nice vibrant colors, not as natural i believe. I like the box it comes with to keep the crayons organized, although not keen on more plastic in this world. Triangular shape is nice for teaching proper grip for kids. Huge negative for me is that when the paper falls off the crayon (which eventually happens with freqent use) the crayon stains your hands. Sorry but i dont want chemical color on my kids hands especially becausebthese crayons are Made in China. Honey sticks: these really smell like honey. So hoping they are as natural as they claim. I like them for small kids but you cant really make ‘art’ with them. So really any kid 4 and up who is into drawing or coloring would not choose these. They are kind of sticky going on paper and definitely do not blend when trying to combine colors. But that honey smell is pretty nice. Lol maybe too enticing for trying to eat???? I gave mine away to a friend with small kids. These are Made in New Zealand. Overall I like these filana crayons best based on performance and naturalness and yeah they dont stain and are made in usa. Also costumer service is pretty awesome.

I love these crayons! I've been a diehard Crayola fan for years. I was one of those teachers that fell into the category of always recommending Crayola on the school supply list. I am home with my two little ones now and I was looking into better crayons for them. I'm not necessarily concerned about the wax content and naturalness of the crayon. I was looking for something that would last a long time, hopefully not break, be pretty colors, and a beautiful tool to use. We haven't gotten to use the crayons much yet so I can't attest to them breaking, but I can say that the colors are vibrant and I can tell that they will last us for a long time. I purchased the 12 pack of stick crayons and the 12 pack block crayons. I like it that the colors match up perfectly between the two kinds of shapes. I also purchased a wood holder from a seller on etsy so that we could display our new tools. Another reason I decided to buy these crayons was because they are a beautiful tool to use. I want my children to learn to appreciate and take care of their art supplies and I thought that by buying a high quality, well made product, they would be more likely to take care of their colors. You can't go to Walmart and buy a new pack for $1 if you destroy them. I'm excited that my kids have such great crayons to use!

We are a homeschooling/unschooling family of 8 and we love these crayons! We used to use crayons like Stockmar and Crayon Rocks but these are the best we have ever found! This is our first time buying them on Amazon-before we bought directly from the company starting when they are brand spanking new. They smell divine and they glide across the paper in the dreamiest, creamiest way. Don’t think they are just for littles either-they blend well and the rich, saturated colors are better than any pricey “artist quality” crayons we have used in the past. These aren’t nasty, cheap paraffin crayons so they are more prone to melting on crazy hot summer days but that’s not a problem at all-you’ll already be treating them with far more care and love than people do with cheap paraffin crayons so I don’t expect anyone to find these melted into the carpet on the van floor 🤗 These are worth every penny and are such a special gift💜

I bought these for my 2 year old. He loves coloring and I wanted him to have something safe in case he bit them. Now that I've used them with him I'm so blown away by hoe amazing they are. I have very nice smooth professional coloring pencils and these are like the crayon equivalent. The color is so beautiful and saturated. And they write so smooth and clean. I honestly didn't know crayons could be so dang nice. I would recommend these not only to every parent but to every artist! It's like a oil pastel without the oil. Love them. And they don't wear down fast by any means you just get quality lines without using up the whole crayon

I have bought this set before from Bella Luna Toys and we have loved them. They have lasted a long time but when I ordered again, this time from Amazon, I received two brown crayons and no red. :( This is a huge disappointment. The colors don't match up to the block crayons I have purchased before from Filana three years ago. While the quality is still the same, which is lovely, the lack of a red and the other colors just not matching up to the block crayons has left me wishing I just upgraded us to the Stockmar collection.

These Filana organic beeswax crayons are amazing! The colors are beautiful and vibrant. The quality and sturdiness you’ll find with these crayons are worth the price. We’ve only had them for a couple of weeks now but it seems that they will last a very long time. I love that the crayons are made with natural, non-toxic materials and that they are made in the U.S. with the help of bees! My four-year-old child loves drawing with them. We are extremely happy with our purchase.
