Revainrating 5 out of 5

Let's compare natural colored pencils.

I was looking for the perfect natural chalk. Here's my review of the three I tried. Filana, Faber Castell and Honey Sticks Filana: I really like them. Very nice bright colors. They go well together and you can make really beautiful art. Such beautiful adult art. They are super high quality. I love that they are all natural and made in the USA. The box they come in wears out pretty quickly. Faber castell: also very nice bright colors, not as natural as i think. I love the box it comes in to keep my crayons organized although I don't want more plastic in this world. The triangular shape is convenient for teaching children proper grip. A major downside for me is that if the paper falls off the pen (which happens over time with frequent use), the pen will get your hands dirty. I'm sorry but I don't want my children's hands to be stained with chemical dyes, especially since these crayons are made in China. Honey Sticks: They really do smell like honey. So hoping they are as natural as they claim. I like them for little kids, but you can't make "art" with them. So really, any kid aged 4+ who loves to draw or paint won't pick them up. They stick to the paper a bit and definitely don't blend when you try to blend colors. But the smell of honey is very pleasant. Lol maybe too tempting to try to eat? I gave mine to a friend with young children. They are made in New Zealand. Overall, I like these Filana crayons best for their performance and naturalness, and yes, they are uncolored and made in the USA. Customer service is pretty cool too.

Pros
  • Goods for drawing, drawing and being creative
Cons
  • Some little things
