Handmade Beeswax CRAYONS | POPPY AND SAGE

I make these crayons one by one, with a mixture of waxes. The main ingredient (around 98%) is our South Island beeswax which we blend with a small amount of carnauba tree wax, raw cacao butter and specially formulated high pigment food dye. All ingredients are non-toxic, food-safe and sustainable.  Set of 12

Inspired by the block Crayons at the children's Steiner playgroup we wanted to make something that was from NZ beeswax that would be a classic.

These are easy to draw with but also fun to play with adding another layer to the experience as they can be stacked, lined up domino style, the opportunities are endless as they often are when things are simpler in shape.

POPPY AND SAGE | ANIESZKA BANKS 

Poppy and Sage. Where it all began. As soon as our twins could crawl they started to put everything they found around the house in their mouths for a nibble.

We were looking for some safer options for them to play with in our home. We wanted to know where these items were made, how they were made, and what they were made from.

We believe in producing small, hand-made batches of high-quality items. We use good, kind materials that are gentle on the earth, and on our family. Things that we are proud of, and use in our own home
