Setup with instructions The sticks work out of the box, but the real benefit comes when an adult plans lessons and shows the child how to build and feel shapes. Booklet ideas and a little coaching are enough, so guided setup fits better than fully self-serve.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The Wikki Stix Fun Activity Set gives children waxy, bendable sticks they can twist into animals, geometric shapes, letters, and numbers, then untwist and reuse. The sticks hold their shape and can be stuck onto surfaces, so a child can feel and build a shape instead of only looking at it. The set includes 84 brightly colored sticks, a two-sided reusable playboard, and an 8-page story booklet with project ideas. It's aimed at teaching shape and object concepts to children with low vision or blindness. An adult will likely need to show the child how to use it and plan the lessons around it.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Open the set and let the child handle the sticks. They twist and press onto the playboard right away.
  • With a guide
    1. Read through the 8-page booklet and pick a few simple projects, such as basic shapes or the child's name.
    2. Sit with the child and model how to bend, twist, and stick the pieces, then guide their hands through the first shapes.
    3. Plan on about 15 to 30 minutes of shared practice for the first few sessions. A teacher of students with visual impairments can suggest which concepts to teach first.
