This toy does what it says it will do,however the kids got bored with it pretty fast.
Rating: 3 / 5
I had high hopes for this toy. My friend got them for her 6 year old daughter and raved about them. My kids, 6 and 4, like them, but like any other toy, their interest comes and goes. I would agree that wile my kids play with these, they won’t hold their attention for really prolonged periods of time. But I do like to keep them for restaurants and occasionally my daughter will ask me to get them out at home.
They were a lot smaller than I was expecting. Maybe 6 inches? I am sure the specs are i the description, I was just expecting them to be longer. But you do get many of them in tons of colors.
I will say that I do feel a residue when I touch them; my kids have not mentioned anything though and I have not noticed anything on my wood table, so that’s a plus.
These are okay, I just would not go out of my way to purchase or recommend them.

Gave as a Christmas gift to 4 1/2 year old granddaughter. She loves playing with the stix. Helps her use her imagination.

*** EDIT: I posted my price analysis when this was selling for < $13! Price has gone up since then... ****
This is a great take-anywhere toy that appeals to a wide range of ages. And I have not seen a better price-per-Wikki than this!
People take them in their cars, keep them in their “wait bag” as time fillers when kids need to be kept busy, use them at family reunions and other gatherings for a multi-age activity!
Don’t let the kids see the size of the whole box or they will use them up too fast. Wikki Stix don’t grow on trees, ya know!

We picked up a small package of Wikki Stix not really knowing what they were. My daughter was crazy for them and created some fun things that she proceeded to stick on the walls – they are still there! So for her birthday I purchased in-store some Bendaroos since they are similar products. Very disappointing – not as long and more importantly harder to shape and would not stick to the wall. We returned them and are now ordering more Wikki Stix!
