Wikking Out

It's official. Fall has fallen and winter is fast approaching. One look at the dismally low thermometer reading, and there's no denying it. And while the calendar is screaming at you that Halloween is no longer creeping up but instead poised to pounce in all its menacing glory and goriness, at the back of your mind is the sound of another alarm bell. Yes, soon those costume-stuffed aisles at the store will soon be marked down on clearance and shoved aside to make way for dressings and decorations of another kind...the kind that clearly announce the arrival of Thanksgiving. Which, consequently, means the official kick-off to the holiday season. 

So if you've got kids, the upcoming months means you're in for several substantial blocks of time to fill as those little angels face the seasonal school holiday vacations. Chances are, you'd like them to have at least a few hours in there that aren't spent in the glow of some sort of screen, so why not get their creativity going and give their tiny little fingers something to do that doesn't involve a keyboard? Wikki Stix has the perfect solution. Reminiscent of the old pipe-cleaner art projects, Wikki Stixx are candle-wick-like pieces of wax coated string in various colors that can be bent and formed into all kinds of fun and interesting shapes. Check out their new Tons of Fun Kit––it's a convenient carrying case case absolutely packed with everything your little ones could possibly need to make critters and creatures, design cards, doodle, play games, decorate bags...or anything else they imagine. The kit includes 96 Wikki Stix packed in a see-through vinyl case with red braid trim and handle, making it easy to pack up and go! (www.wikkistix.com) $16.95.

Whether you're getting ready for those idle hours away from school or thinking ahead to Christmas shopping, the Tons of Fun kit has you covered!
