WikiStix – The Perfect Crafty Christmas Gift

November 10, 2011 by Shellie Wilson


We (my 2 and 4 year old kids) just had the pleasure of playing with WikiStix One of a kind Creatables . What are they? Literally sticks that stick. You can bend them, shape them, stick them to paper, stick them to themselves, stick them to anything to create a stickable creation.

We tested  played with 2 items The Activity Set  and the Tons of Fun pack (see details below) both retail for $16.95 and both of them have won Toy awards.  Both sets were great fun and we enjoyed playing and creating.  The kits come with activities to help guide your creativity such as dot to dots in the Activity set and Blank faces in the Tons of Fun pack. (plus heaps more)

If you are looking for a Christmas gift for a child 2+  you can’t go past either of these. The Ton’s Of Fun pack would be my favorite gift idea as it has so many things to keep your child occupied and the presentation of the pack makes it a perfect present for older children who can follow activities. If you just want to stick and mess (my 2 year old did) then you could even grab a simple stix pack that just contains the  WikiStix.

These stixs have so much potential as they are tactile and versatile making them perfect for sensory education, Home-schooling or a classroom (Check out their bulk packs 600 stix for $33.25)

Check out their website for great ideas and loads more activity packs including party favor kits and Alphabet learning packs.  I am a grown up and I had fun so imagine what kids will think!

To make gift giving easier Wikistix have created their own Christmas Gift Guide to help you select a product to suit your holiday needs.

 

  The Activity Set  $16.95 


Contains 84 Wikki Stix in 16 colors and two sizes (48- 8-inch and 36 -6-inch), plus multi-use playboard, handy storage bag and eight page booklet of fun ideas and illustrations. The Wikki Stix Activity Set is ideal for younger children, ages 3-5 or so, as there is no right or wrong way to play. They can use the playboard to learn letter formation…or simply “smoosh” the Wikkies down, and peel them back up!

 

 

 

Tons Of Fun pack $16.95

Bookmark Cross Stitch Patterns

It seems like there’s no end to the available options when it comes to cross stitch bookmarks, which is a good thing because they’re perennially popular to stitch as well. This time I thought I’d share some colorful cross stitch bookmarks to get you ready for the new school year or to make meeting your reading goals a little more fun. 

I love these retro floral designs from The Stitch Patterns. This set of four patterns is rated as very easy, and each bookmark measures 2.5 by 6 inches (or 6.35 by 15.25 cm) on 14 count fabric. 

These cute ones that look like mosaic tile would also be fun to stitch. This set includes five designs from EmbroSTyle Designs, and they call them folk art but they mostly look like old mosaics to me. Either way, the bookmarks are 25 by 101 stitches, and to stitch the full set uses 12 colors. 

If you’re looking for more of a challenge, you can stitch up a work of art with this set of 16 bookmarks designed to look like famous paintings. Stitch some sunflowers or a great wave or a starry night. Most of these are between 14 and 20 colors (the great wave is only 8) and the bookmarks are totally covered with stitching at a count of 35 by 100 stitches. Grab this set from Sunset and Sea Design.

Or how about some bookmarks inspired by books (or by movies inspired by books)? This set of Lord of the Rings bookmarks includes four landmarks from the books/movies. Each one is 35 by 115 stitches and uses between 8 and 17 colors. You can find them at byCountryMagicStitch.

These don’t quite all fit the description of being colorful bookmarks to cross stitch, but a few of them do, and speaking of book-themed bookmarks I had to share this set from Mama Geek inspired by Heartstopper. There are seven designs in all that should be quite familiar to readers (or viewers of the series).
