The New Crayon, Restaurants Need More Wikki Stix

Written by Julie Henning

Mini Play Paks

As the “Feed Me” editor of the online travel magazine Road Trips for Families, our  family eats out more than the average American household. As tired of chicken  nuggets as we are of primary-colored crayons, we were thrilled to discover  Wikki Stick Mini Play Packs in Amish Country, Ohio, of all places.

Sold in bulk, each play pack includes eight Wikki Stix and a  neatly folded playsheet with dot-to-dot on one side and ideas for creativity on  the other. A welcome alternate to two-dimensional coloring sheets, Wikki Stix are  easy to bend and mold while you wait for your order.

From frogs to glasses, dinosaurs, stick people, and even the  Olympic rings, even the youngest kids were getting in on the action. Halfway  through the evening, kids were called to the front of the room and proudly  displayed their works of art to the masses. Voting by hand and with more than one tie, winners received small awards for their efforts.

A mess-free and novel way to pass time in a booth, waiting  room, or airplane travel, Wikki Stix are portable, lightweight, and affordable. With the Travel Fun Pak accompanying us on our road trips, we’ve managed to  string a rope chain the entire length of our minivan. Knowing the product won’t  melt or contribute to the sticky wonders of the back seat,we hope to add more  Wikki Stix to our collection as we dine along the open road.
