Wikki Stix Tons of Fun Kit

Believe it or not, the first time I saw these was at P.F. Chang's. Instead of crayons, they brought 3 of these Wikki Stix for each tot. I was like, "Come on you can't even get crayons? Wax sticks? This meal is going to be a mess". Boy, was I wrong. These waxy sticks bend and mold into any shape you can imagine. They stick together because of the wax but you can easily unravel anything you've done. You can keep it simple like twisting them together to make a candy cane design, or if you're creative you can make a cat with whiskers. For my 1 1/2 year old, she was happy just wrapping it around her fingers. The whole table started playing with them and we made a whole collection of jewelry from tiaras to bracelets. It was the coolest thing! I bought a pack of these to keep in my bag for the car and restaurants - they are very compact and light. But this Tons of Fun pack gives even more ideas for its use like cards, treasure boxes, bags and more. It all comes in a convenient briefcase carrier. At Amazon.com for $13.22.
