Wikki Stix and a coupon for you!
To be honest crickets rang when I first
heard this product’s name.
Sorry Wikkistix, but apparently you are a
newbie on our shores. Well at least not in my circle of moms or something like
that, but don’t get me wrong, turns out you are brilliant!
Brilliant does not even do justice to your
description, so let’s talk more shall we?
This colourful little things are called
Wikkistix. They are actually strands of yarns,
coated with non-toxic patented wax, making it sticky and flexible yarn strands.
Best of all, it does not stain, repeat,
no stain (means no mess!) and can be used over and over again. How cool is
that? I for one vouch for the no stain part, such a lifesaver!
They come in fancy packages of 6 to 48
pieces, in 27 different colours. They're also gluten free, and
very safe for children because they’re non toxic too (in case some kid mistaken
it as a candy of sorts, lol).These fun things are very popular back in their
original home (the USA) and are being widely used as educational tools, craft
and playtime toys and for sure be able to occupy children’s time especially if
you are on flight or in restaurants (talk about peace of mind huh?)
Obviously these yarns have made it a hit
among kids and parents, the possibilities of getting crafty with it are almost
endless. Besides being used in the classrooms and home, these yarns are also
being used to cater to the needs of the visually impaired by simulating
Braille, and even being used in therapies for autism.
Some of the amazing creatables I personally
like:
 |
| Animal craft |
 |
| Learning geometry |
 |
| Baby mobile |
 |
| Learning basic shapes |
All you need is to be creative with it, and
trust me you will never get bored with it.
In my case however, because Wikkistix is
meant for children 3 years and older (they can already appreciate the novelty),
as expected my little Bella who is just 2, is not that interested with them (yet!).
No worries though, maybe it is not time for
Bella, but as a mommy (and a self-proclaimed domestic goddess wannabe) I have
other alternatives of making use of these pieces.
Wikkistix actually made my list in the Home & Living department. Because of its
sticky and flexible texture, it became my home fix saviour! Look at what I came
up with:
 |
| Cable ties (instead of those boring blacks or whites) |
 |
| No-slip hangers |
 |
| As an adhesive & decoration for Bella's play room (when Bella is ready I can take it down anytime and let Bella have her own thrill with it!) |
 |
| Just stick the stix behind the paper and mount it wherever you please |
