What's In Your Crayons?
The majority of crayons on the market are made with the petroleum by-product paraffin wax. Even many popular "beeswax" crayons have only a small percentage of beeswax and have paraffin fillers. Honeysticks is made with 100% beeswax and food grade pigments. They are also a pleasure to use.

Snails - Display Master
We have been impressed with Snail's packaging and also their retail displays.
Their colorful displays come in many shapes and sizes. One of our favorites is the Eiffel Tower, which is a reminder of the French origins of the Snails product.
ABOUT US
Founded by Margaret Wilson Henke and Rob Wilson, a mother and son team, in 1998, Challenge & Fun is a leading supplier of natural toys and furniture to the consumer and educational market.
Through the years Challenge Fun has worked with various European manufacturers of beautiful toys and furniture, and was one of the very first companies to introduce organic cotton soft dolls and stuffed animals to the American market.
While Challenge Fun was originally based in the Boston area, then in beautiful coastal Maine, it is now situated on the scenic California coast. Still, no matter where it is, we strive to stand out from the pack - to do things a little bit differently so that you can know that you have found the very best products with outstanding service to match.
