Wikki Stix Rainbow Pak Arts & Crafts, Kids Travel Essential, Pack of 24 in Rainbow Colors, Ages 3 & Up

The box is large compared to the amount of product you get, yes. But, I though it was so your kid can store their creation in the the box or use the box in the crafting. Overall the product is fun for kids. My children love it. Its clean and easy to use without any real mess. I know some parents complained that there isn't enough pieces to make some of the larger items pictured, but the wax strings are not meant to be used to make the internal body of a dinosaur or a car, for example--use play dough for that, or buy a figurine and then you cover it with the wax to decorate it. If you bother to look at the suggestions or instructions, it pretty much tells you that.The waxy string is used as a covering for your kids creation - like wrapping them around a coffee can, or a shoe box, or paper mache or a figure. You can use them to decorate paper. Think of it more like paint without having the mess to clean up. I think over all you get quite a bit for the money and for the most part it can be reused for quite sometime, as long as you have a clean work area for your kid to create and play in. If you have your kids playing in pet hair, dirt, and dust, then yes likely the waxy string will get pet hair all over it and get dirty, but that's not a fault in the product. I don't normally leave reviews, but I think its important to review a product for what it does, and this product is great.

I cannot say enough good things about these! I am not a playdough fan, although I do allow my children to use it, as it makes a mess and once mixed you can't unmixed it.These, however, take care of both of those issues! There is no mess to clean up! The kids can play and then put them in bags and walk away. No picking playing out of the cracks of the flooring, table or carpet!The Stix can be mixed up! They can twirls them together, make a ball or a nice picture and the Stix will hold their shape and stick together but also easily come apart.They are reusable! They can play and put away for so much longer than playdough that the price is well worth it in the end.The can be used in dot to dots or on laminated pictures. We find pictures online, laminate them and then the kids can use the Stix to accent their pictures. When done they remove, put them in bags and we reuse the pictures another day.Will continue to use and buy, so I definitely recommend. These would also make great gifts or fun things to do at birthday parties.

My 6yo daughter started using wiki sticks we had for my older boys a year ago. She enjoyed them so much that I bought this set. Now she's getting another set for Christmas. She made her own version of Frozen wall and furniture decorations (so far, the color and wax is not hurting the paint). Elsa now has hair as long as Rapunzel's. A plastic cup is now a birthday cake. The possibilities are endless. If she sticks them to her real dolls, the wax does get in their hair and is impossible to get out, so I don't recommend that. She does things I would never have thought of. It's a great toy!

These last for a long time, and are fun, but be careful not to let them be on carpet etc, they pick up everything, dust, dirt etc

My daughter has used these at school and was delighted when I discovered them and bought some for her. They are such fun! And they're reusable! We use them to practice spelling words, make fun designs, write messages, etc. This big box is the most cost-effective way I've found of purchasing them.I've packaged up sets of about 50 into ziploc bags to take with us when we go on a long trip. They'll be great for projects on the airplane tray tables! And car windows when we drive long distances... They do leave some residue sometimes, but I've found it easy to clean up. They're small and yet provide many ways to play, which is a must for travel toys in my book... My only question... Do they handle hot temperatures?? We'll see.

Wikki Stix are a favorite at our house. This was the most played with Christmas gift of the year. They are not very messy and help with the development fine motor skills. Activity ideas are endless! The box itself is an activity (decorate it), and it also comes with a booklet of ideas. You can make relief sculptures, make glasses, practice ABCs and counting, make jewelry, make Christmas ornaments, make window decorations, and the list goes on and on.The box comes with a wide variety of colors. The sticks can be used again and again without fail. I purchased this on sale for about fifteen dollars, but would definitely pay more for these.

Wikkistix provide a great sensory activity that leads to creative and focussed play. I first thought them to be a bit expensive but now recognize they are a great value, long lasting and reusable. I use with 4 active preschool boys, a quick grab and go that settles them into quiet play. Great Product!

I don’t get these! I’ve seen them all over the place for kids to play with at restaurants or on planes. They are bendable sticky-ish sticks. I don’t get the appeal. My 4 year old stuck some to the plane window and then moved on to something else.
