Fun with a twist

By Kristin Ely

The twistable, bendable, stickable Wikki Stix appeal to families on vacation, according to company president Kem Clark.

“Kids are spending lots of travel time in the backseat or on an airplane so having an engaging, quiet type of independent play is a must,” he says. “That is what our line, Wikki Stix, provides for these locations.”

Clark adds that Wikki Stix are “quiet, reusable and engaging,” making them ideal travel toys. The company recently introduced its Make Believe Fun Pak, featuring unicorns, fairies, wizards and other make-
believe characters.

“With 20 individual paks, there are enough to keep kids busy for a long stretch of travel time, and they are small enough for mom to tuck in her purse or carry-on to pull out as needed.”
