Have any of you with kids ever seen Wikki Stix? I saw some for the first time today and LOVED them! We were at a restaurant and they gave a little package of them to my daughter.

They are like thread only they are covered in wax. So you can bend them and twist them and make things out of them and then reuse them again. I can't imagine how nice they would be to have in the car, on the airplane, etc. They are no mess at all. And when they wear out, you just pitch them. So far, I can only find them on Amazon and at Dick Blick. The package I got today could have been split by both of my girls and played with for at least an hour or more before they got bored. And the packages I saw for sale had about 5 time the number of sticks as this one for $6.

Does anyone else have these? I can't believe I have never seen them before. Looks like a lot of teaching places have them.
