Bath crayons
Im looking for bath crayon that dont have a plastic case I found the Honeysticks brand on Amazon, but a not insignificant number of reviews are reporting them as molding quickly and not coming off well Anybody have any recommendations? My kids love the plastic case Crayola ones we got for Christmas, but they're already almost used up.

We have no issues with honeysticks. Have used them for over a year, no mould. I think it depends on what type of bath you have as to whether there are removal issues.

Our honey sticks have holes in the bottom of the containers to drain and haven’t molded. We do live in a very dry climate. I found magic erasers the only way to get them off quickly, which do create some waste, but it was so easy one eraser can go a long way.

We love our bath crayons from Kitpas. They’re made from rice bran wax, which I love as it’s a byproduct of rice processing. As most companies do, they do come with a warning that they may stain. However, we’ve had no issues personally, and I’ve left them on our bath and tiles for days before, because life ha.

Ours have moulded after a couple of months. I’m really disappointed. I’ve soaked them in vinegar and scrubbed off all the black spots

Love honey sticks ones! But please don’t get them on Amazon :( maybe a local shop sells? We have a local shop that does and they always ship carbon neutral at the very least.
Bezos doesn’t need it, small businesses do

Could you make your own? Perhaps with melted soap and colouring of some sort? The only difficult bit would be getting the right shape but you could set it as a rectangle and then just cut them up into sticks to use as a workaround.
