Wikki Stix- A Review
A few weeks ago I received a packet of Wikki sticks or the kids to try out. For those who haven’t heard about them they are from the USA and basically flexible sticky sticks, which you can twist, bend, and join together to create your own unique piece of art. They feel extremely sticky to the touch when I initially handle it but after some time the stickiness didn’t bother me too much. It was also relatively easy to clean up any impressions left on furniture using a damp cloth.
The stixs came with a instruction sheet with examples of types of designs that you can create with the sticks. After reading through the instructions I demonstrated to the kids how to create a stick man using two different coloured Wikki stixs.
Doggie boy was the first one to try out the stixs after my demonstration. You can see him here trying to create his own masterpiece.
Tiger girl wanted to get her hands on some sticks and was eagerly watching to see how her brothers were making their masterpieces with it so she could follow suit.
The boys created Airplanes with their Wikki Stixs. I love how they added on the details like the engines and tail with using different colours. It’s amazing what the kids can come up with the stixs in their hands.
Wikki Stixs are certainly mess free and much more friendly to use then traditional playdough. They really make good filler activities for the kids on a rainy day.

Love this! It looks not as messy as play dough. I wonder where can I get this in Manila.

@Jen,
so far it is just in for sale in Singapore and comes from the USA I’m not sure if they will ship directly out to Manila but you can check with the suppliers.

@Michelle,
Unfortunately for this product the sponsor is not offering any extras for giveaways or I’m sure to let my readers know if there is a possibility of one. It’s certainly fun and educational toy for the kids.

They look sooooo coool!!!! 😀 Are they reusable? Or once you form them, that’s it? 😀

Hi Yhey Garcia,
One of the unique characteristics of Wikki Stix is that they are 100% re-usable. So you can stick them, peel them, and stick them again! Kinda like Post-It-Notes.
Do drop me an email if you have any further questions.
Thank you.
Cheers,

I actually have these and have for awhile. Xander has enjoyed playing with them when I get them out. You are correct about the stickiness becoming tolerable after a bit. I didn’t even notice they were sticky. They are a really great way to fill a bit of time on a rainy afternoon!

I teach visually impaired children, and i use a lot of wiki stix when modeling concepts to them! They are also useful when the children are able to represent their thoughts and ideas tactilely for themselves and others to see. Would be great if they are more affordable.

Hi Lay Hong,
Wikki Stix is indeed a great tool for teaching the visually impaired as well as for children with special needs.
Thank you.
