Arts and Crafts for Kids Activity Set with Playboard and Booklet, Non-Toxic, Waxed Yarn, Fidget Toy, Reusable Molding and Sculpting Playset, 84 Count, American Made by Wikki Stix

Purchased for my 4 yr old and 6 yr old for use during an overseas move. We were in temporary housing for 2 months and couldn't bring all their toys. This kept them occupied and happy, even during rainy days inside. I was impressed with all of the imaginative uses they found for their wiki sticks. At one point they were being used for a calico critter rock-climbing expedition on the dining room furniture. I will be purchasing this product the next time we travel as a family.It left no mess! I prefer it to play dough because of the easy clean-up factor. I can testify that they they do not mark wood furniture, painted walls or white dinner plates and they do not require any special storage to stay malleable.

"Santa" bought this for Christmas for my four year old daughter. We had so much fun with it together. You can bend them, twist them, cut them with scissors to make smaller pieces, and create all sorts of things. We practiced letters and made pictures on the playboard. No messes to clean up. Although, it says you can draw on the playboard with crayon but my daughter couldn't wipe it off. I had to use some elbow grease to get it clean. Otherwise this is really different and very cool. I would recommend purchasing extra wikki stix if you want to make 3D creations like they have pictured on the box instead of just pictures on the playboard.

I like wiki stix and my kids love them. The designs in this one are way too complicated for my kids which is probably my fault for not reading. I have a 5 year old and he needs basic things. The board that comes with it is basically a dry erase board which is fine. But it's large--more like a lap desk. I was looking for something to stick in the diaper bag but this is a bit big.The kit doesn't come with reusable bags for the wiki stix so I used a lot of ziplocks and the ziplocks aren't quite long enough to store them upright.I still think these are great for creativity and fine motor skills.

Wikki Stix rule for airplane and car trips. The addition of the board is great for the car; and for the plane the stix alone are just fine because they stick to the seat in front of you, the tray table, the plane window. You can make 2D shapes and designs with them, or build 3D designs. They are inexpensive and durable, and very light weight (again, perfect for plane travel). Good for kids from about age 2 on (when they no longer put things in their mouths); fun for parents too!

Bought this as a gift for a 5 year old boy that is very into art of all kinds and had never seen Wiki Stix before. Not only could he not wait to use them, his mom said he spent hours playing with them the first day and continues to. He tends to be rough on things so I'll have to check up on them and see how they are handling but I know he has been using them a lot. This is a great gift for something different for kids. We also have a toy that uses the Stix as hair and can substitute these in there. Now lots of dolls have curly hair too.
