At Nature’s Materials, we don’t just carry products because they look good on a shelf—we carry them because they’ve earned a place in real homes, with real kids. That’s exactly how our partnership with Wikki Stix began.
How We First Discovered Wikki Stix
I first learned about Wikki Stix from another parent—one of those golden parent-to-parent recommendations that stick with you. She told me they were a lot of fun and especially great for kids who fidget.
That immediately caught my attention.
Our daughter is incredibly tactile. She needs to touch everything. Textures, shapes, surfaces—if it exists, she’s exploring it with her hands. So I thought, why not give Wikki Stix a try?
The Instant Love Affair
She loved them.
Not just a polite “this is fun” love—but a full-on creative obsession. She stuck them on everything. She made shapes, lines, patterns, letters. At one point, she gathered every Wikki Stix she could find and rolled them into one giant, colorful ball.
I remember thinking, well… this is the end of them.
But it wasn’t.
They survived.
That’s one of the things that really impressed me—Wikki Stix are incredibly durable. They bend, twist, stick, unstick, and somehow keep going. Eventually, when we were ready to move on, we passed them along to another family—and they were still going strong.
The One I Found Later
Here’s the part that makes me smile every time.
Recently, while moving furniture to make room for something new, I found a single Wikki Stix under my daughter’s dresser. Months—maybe years—later, there it was. Still intact. Still bendable. Still doing exactly what it was designed to do.
Because yes… they do get lost. But somehow, they always turn back up.
Why They Belong at Nature’s Materials
That experience is exactly why Wikki Stix feel so right for Nature’s Materials.
They’re:
Hands-on and tactile, perfect for kids who need to touch and move
Mistake-free, which builds confidence and creativity
Durable enough to be shared, reused, and passed along
Simple, without being boring
Beloved by kids who fidget, focus, or just like to create
They work for quiet moments, busy hands, travel days, classrooms, and those in-between times when kids need something engaging but gentle.
A Brand We’re Proud to Carry
Partnering with Wikki Stix isn’t just about stocking a product—it’s about sharing something we’ve seen work in our own home. From tactile explorers to creative builders to kids who just need something to do with their hands, Wikki Stix meet children where they are.
Sometimes the best products don’t come from a catalog—they come from another parent saying, “Hey, have you tried these?”
And sometimes, you find proof of that choice years later… under a dresser.
