If you're worried about your baby chewing on crayons, then look no further than these beeswax crayons. So, the beeswax used to create these fun honey sticks is a natural by-product of honey production. We love that this sustainable process causes minimal impact on the environment and gives the crayons a wonderful honey scent.

Features:

• 12 colours in the box
• Includes a money-back guarantee

Review:

One happy reviewer said, "Bought these crayons for my two-year-old grandson who has severe food allergies. Normal wax crayons contain animal derivatives, which make him sick.

"These are brilliant. He can happily use them with no adverse effect. They are just the right size for small hands, and they smell amazing. More expensive than normal wax crayons, but worth every penny."

Remember Buckaroo? Well, this stacker tower from JoJo Maman Bebe feels like a mixture of the 1989 toy (we know we couldn't believe how old it was either) and the classic Jenga game. The aim of the game is to stack the wooden animals as high as you can before they tumble down. Features:

A lovely comforting night light featuring an array of amazing colours. Its warm glow is the perfect stimulator for vivid and wonderful dreams that will take your child over the rainbow.

Features:
• Batteries included
• Lovely warm glow

Review: "My little girl loves this night light - the rainbow pattern glows with such lovely colours, it is very soothing and ideal for bedtime. The timer goes off after about 10 minutes so I can leave it on after story time and it will turn itself off which is great to know I don't have to go switch it off again. The button is easy to find too, so I know if she wakes up in the night she can easily turn it on herself too."
