This review is from : Wikki Stix After School Fun Kit
Great package for restaurants . I went to a restaurant a few weeks back and they gave my children a small pack of half-sized Wikki Stix instead of the obligate crayons that end up broken, eaten, or under the table. One very wonderful hour later, I realized the hubby and myself had actually managed to have a conversation because the kids were still engaged. We literally wore those little stix out.
This school fun kit comes in a handy clear zippered pouch that can easily slide behind one of the kids at a restaurant. The stix are separated in manageable groups (about the size of a small sandwich bag) on what looks like wax paper. There are large cut-outs of purple fish and yellow butterflies. I was a little disappointed thinking there would be more variety, but this appears to be packaged for a daycare or school setting. There is a very nice idea book, with places inside the kids can decorate with their stix - e.g. Easter eggs, license plate.
These have been stuck to the windows of my car and various walls leaving behind no problematic residue. The color does not appear to transfer. I have not left them in the car to find out if they would melt - I guess they would (wax). In any event - they get thumbs up from my 4 year old and my 10 year old - and mom and dad too - who could really use some quality chat time.
Update: After forgetting a pack of soda in my car and subsequently having to strip the car down to clean, I discovered a few of these in my daughter's seat. So, no, apparently they hold up fine (much better than cans of soda) in hot cars. Good to know.

Wikki Stix After School Fun Kit Reviews
Mom of a crafty guy. . My just-turned-five year old loves to draw and make things. He saw Bendaroos on television and was begging for them for his birthday. I purchased Wikki Stix based on reviews on Amazon and because of Amazon's super saver shipping. He was thrilled and his bedroom wall is covered with a garden (yes, flowers everywhere) of Wikki Stix as well as his name, a basketball hoop and a soccer goal.

Wikki Stix After School Fun Kit Opinions
A very versatile toy . We purchased this product because it was so similar to Bendaroos, which is something our children had wanted. They were unaware that this was a different brand mainly because they've had so much fun with the Wikki Stix, still calling them Bendaroos of course.
I think the primary reason the kids like them so much is that the toy's purpose is open to creative interpretation. We have Wikki Stix on doors, on paper, on the wall, on lamp shades, etc., and the only limit to what they can be is a child's imagination. Overall a really solid and fairly inexpensive toy.

Where Have These Been All My Life??? . My kids and I love these. So easy to use! No fuss, no mess...no cleanup! We've already had to reorder. Their friends now want them. You can't go wrong with these.
Good for creative play . I like these. I read a lot of reviews before buying them. I wanted the bendaroos but Wiki Stix actually had parent awards and Bendaroos had bad reviews but none for Wiki Stix. Some reviewer said they bought both and they are exactly the same. So, I'm not sure why the difference in reviews. Most of them I read had to do with purchasing and not with the product itself. Anyway, they are good. They feel a little sticky but nothing stays on your hands. My son is 3 and if I play with him we will play with them for a while but his level of creativity is not like an older child. I imagine the older you get, the longer these might hold the attention span. He has had fun with these and his friend. So I guess like anything else, playing with someone else is more fun. They are a no mess toy. It looks like just a little bit as you open the package, but it's quite a lot. If you like to try to find non frilly toys that can be used in a hundred ways, its uses wont burn out, you can use it for education, battery-less, then add these to your collection. God bless =)
Fun for a group . We used this for an activity at my daughter's 7th birthday party. There are cut-outs of butterflies and fish, and we gave each child a cut-out and 10 wikki stix. It kept them busy a long time. As one child left, she said, "That was the most fun birthday party ever!"
This is the kind of activity you pull out occasionally and play with a long time, not a use-every-day kind of toy. It comes with a booklet of ideas, but my kids (13, 7, 5) weren't too impressed with the suggestions. We've used both Wikki Stix and Bendaroos, and neither are quite as cool as the Bendaroo commercials make them look, but they are fun. Wikki Stix have a smaller diameter than Bendaroos, which is the only real difference we noticed.
My one suggestion is that you are careful about cutting the stix for crafts. The stix are reusable, but once cut are pretty much garbage can fodder.

Wikki Stix After School Fun Kit . This was purchased as a gift for my daughter. She's very happy with it. It's a decent set of waxed string in both primary and bright colors, and it comes with some accessories plus a nice case to keep it all in. This is really a nice, creative craft that kiddos or adults can do anytime (home, car, waiting in a restaurant, babysitters house, etc) without creating a mess. I'm pleased with this purchase.
MORE PRODUCT LESS PACKAGING . Entertaining for children six and under. I made the mistake of purchasing the After School Fun Kit thinking it would nice for each child to have their own bag. The kit comes with a couple of templates, but who wants to use the same templates over and over? If I had it to do over I would purchase the big box to get more product and let the children us their own imagination.
Excellent mess-free fun . My kids (9 and 5) love their Wikki Stix. It's very easy for both of them to make things with them, and they don't leave a mess behind. I especially love the storage pouch, which keeps everything corralled when they're done! I'd highly recommend these if your kids are into arts & crafts.
Cons Review
Better than I expected . The product was just as advertised. I chose it instead of bend a roos and was pleasantly surprised.
