Wikki Stix

By Bradley Smith

“Grandma, look what I made for you!” Now, there’s a special gift Grandma’s waited months to enjoy.

Fun, easy to use and mistake-free, Wikki Stix are an ideal way to offer a special message to a special person. Just press them down on the paper, no glue, no paste, no mess! And easy to peel up and reposition to make changes. And, Made in the USA, the original one and only waxed-yarn creative toy.

Fold a piece of paper in half to make a card, make the front festive and colorful, and handwrite a message inside. Tape two sheets of paper together to make a poster. And create a BIG message!

Wikki Stix make it easy for kids to create a picture of what they see on their trip.

Or, a scene from home. Whatever the subject, the important part is the creativity. Instead of staring passively at screens, with Wikki Stix, kids are actively and imaginatively creating.

And since not every vacation day is a bright and sunny day at the beach, it’s good to have Wikki Stix on hand for a rainy afternoon in the hotel room. Small, lightweight and easy to pack, Wikki Stix are the perfect take-along toy.

But even without a big trip on the agenda, kids can enjoy Wikki Stix at home …Making a funny self portrait, a picture of Fluffy the Cat and Duke the Dog …Or just a bunch of silly characters they can create and name themselves. Make it a cartoon world or a world full of Wikki Super Heroes!

And, you can create a Wikki message board for daily reminders, things to do, a daily joke, or message of inspiration. Use a piece of posterboard or even a whiteboard, and set it in a convenient place for everyone to share. Make it serious …Make it inspirational …Make it silly …Make it for Grandma! With Wikki Stix, you can make it your way!
