Wikki Stix has created fabulous card sets that have done all that work for me.Īnd sets to practice shapes using a neat dot-to-dot idea But now there is no need for that! And saving time is something that every teacher (and Mama) can appreciate. I used to make up little cards for the kids to trace in order for them to practice their numbers, letters, and shapes. When I was teaching in the classroom, this was all we used – simply a pack of Wikki Stix. We were given the Little Travelers pack which comes with a small carrying case and some little game boards inside. All of the creations above can be made from one single pack of Wikki Stix. There are so many ways to play! The Wikki Stix website has even more ideas. Making Birthday cards - which actually double as the birthday gift!Īnd to practice forming letters and names Twisting them together to make bracelets and jewellery Popping them onto a mirror for silly faces, learning about emotions, and more quiet time play We use them for strengthening little hands, fine motor skill development, and sensory play Let me show you how we have been using them at home with the boys: They stand up very well to being used by kids! This makes them ideal to use in daycare settings, classrooms, and at home. They never dry out, no matter how you store them, and they can be mixed together and unmixed again easy as can be. Wikki Stix are these amazing modeling sticks that you can use again and again. I could keep on going, it just keeps getting better!Īhem … Okay, that’s quite enough of that (according to that teenage daughter of mine anyways) Kids can make a bracelet, an animal and a letter, They never dry out, no I’m not being foolish!
They are bendish and longish, and straightish and smoothish, Well, I am almost tempted to get a little Dr. You might be wondering … what are Wikki Stix? Which was very often (first year teachers work looong hours). And since Madeline was only 6 when I first started teaching Kindergarten, she played with them every time she came to my classroom. We had found Wikki Stix! I used Wikki Stix all the time in the Kindergarten classroom. However, she then saw what I had found and a smile formed ear to ear as she said, “I remember those!” My daughter’s sensitive teenage ears were apparently bothered by the frequency of my voice causing her to look over both shoulders to ensure no one she knew was nearby seeing her mom get so excited about kid’s art supplies.
“OH MY GOODNESS! MADELINE – LOOK!” I said, perhaps a little too enthusiastically. It was just before Christmas when Madeline and I were out doing a little Christmas shopping. Today I am excited to partner with Wikki Stix for this sponsored post sharing with you the incredible ways to use Wikki Stix!
