My children, all 6 of them, have enjoyed wikki stix for years. They are a great QUIET activity perfect for car trips, doctors waiting rooms, etc. They don't take up a lot of space, so are nice to pack for a trip especially. The only downside is that they do leave a residue which is hard to remove from glass and other surfaces. This set comes with a play board so as long as they stay there, the problem is solved.

We first received our wikkiSticks at a restaurant and subsequently bought the 2 sets. One was a gift and the other entertains my grandchildren for hours. I carry some in my purse for our trips to dine out,etc. and they can be used to trace simple dot to dot book pages as well as the pages included in the packet.

We brought wikki stix on vacation with us for our 3 1/2 year old son and this was all he needed on the airplane and at dinner to keep himself busy.

My 8-yr-old daughter wanted Bendaroos for Christmas, but I have a bias against "as seen on TV" purchases. So, we got the American-made Wikkis, and she's been very pleased. I will say that the toy is not as reusable as touted - anything dipped in waxed is going to pick up lint and pet fur if it touches the ground. On the other hand, she's had a lot of fun with the toy. I would recommend this as a good item to encourage creativity and keep kids busy on the run.

I bought this for my 3 year old daughter and 6 year old son specifically for going out to dinner. It works great for us for that purpose; they only play with it when out to dinner and using this way helps keep it interesting. If it were available to them all the time I am not sure it would remain as interesting. I really like this kit for our purpose because the tray that comes with it does keep any residue, which there is just a bit of, off any linens. For the first time in a long time my daughter was occupied for the entire hour we were at the restaurant (as was my son but he is less difficult). I will say i had hoped there would have been more sticks included in the kit but that was/is easily remedied by a reorder of sticks. Great product!

My kids love Wikki Stix and play with them all the time. They don't dry out like Play-Doh and can be used over and over. The wax does start to peel off if you are very rough with them, but that hasn't really been an issue for us. You can twist and turn and bend and shape and have lot of fun, then put it away and do it all over again another day!

Wanted to wait a couple months before I reviewed these to see how they stood up. They are a great quiet toy for my four year old. They have stood up to being rolled into tiny balls, twisted together and being left all over the house. As said in their description they never dry out or break. I'm very happy with these, hours of fun for her at a low price.

I got these for my daughter, who is 10. She loves sticking them to her wall, making words and designs. They do not leave any marks on the surfaces they are attached to. I think they were a good buy.

This set is MUCH better value than Bendaroos (we have both) and comes with a board plus a resealable large storage plastic bag. Wikki Stix are virtually 98% identical to Bendaroos. The wax layer is slightly thicker on these sticks (still we are talking fractions of millimetres here) but they are just as flexible, colourful and fun. I wish I'd never bought the vastly overpriced Bendaroos now which for comparison came in a tiny brown cardboard box (no effort on packaging whatsoever) and were shorter.
My three children aged 4-9 have all enjoyed playing with these, they leave no mess, stains or residue and have been stuck to doors, walls and picures with no problems. My 7 year old likes making bridges and tracks for his toy cars with his. My 9 year old is making lots of plaited jewellery and my 4 year old makes 'pictures' and sticks them to everything in sight. You need to hold them for a few seconds to stick them together, the warmth from your fingers slightly softens the wax so they join. My 4 year old hasn't quite got the hang of this but he's still happy freestyling and making his own wierd and wonderful creations.
Great activity toy which has kept my children occupied for hours and as an adult I've enjoyed playing with them too.
They don't crumble or dry out and there are no sharp parts.
Wikki Stix 5/5, Bendaroos 3/5
Highly recommended for over 3s.

I bought these for my 3 year old - he loves them. Plays with them for a long time. My 6 year old loves them too. Great for all ages.
