![]() ![]() Leo tried to mimic my spiral rock and had difficulties at first. It would make the perfect calming tool! Just put a couple of stones and a pack of Wikki Stix in a Ziplock bag and bring it out if your little one needs a calming activity to sooth those big emotions. I couldn’t sit out on the sidelines for this one so I got in on the fun and started creating too! There is something so calming and satisfying about this activity. He was so excited to build the rock tower! Pretty clever if you ask me. Leo started wrapping them around the rock and quickly discovered that the Wikki Stix stick together if you gently press them so he started this stacking trick! My boys were so excited to experiment with the materials because it’s been at least a year since I’ve brought out Wikki Stix and we’ve never tried using them with stones! I cut a couple Wikki Stix into smaller pieces but other than that, I just set them out. I set out the stones and Wikki Stix and let the boys explore. There are really no steps to this activity. This post contains Affiliate links for your convenience. OR try a different piece of nature! We’ll be trying this activity with seashells and pumpkins! If you don’t have a spot in nature to collect stones, I recommend purchasing from the Dollar Store or craft store. They are also easy to peel up and reposition and you can use them over and over again! They don’t don’t break or tear apart, but are easily cut with scissors. How do they work? Just press them down with light fingertip pressure on virtually any smooth surface and they will stick. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good messy process art activity but sometimes it’s nice just to set out the supplies and know there won’t be a huge clean up session at the end. I love Wikkis Stix because they are a no mess craft supply. This is the same ingredient in bubble gum and lipstick. Wikkis Stix are made of hand-knitting yarn enhanced with a microcrystalline, food-grade non-toxic wax. I also love reusable supplies and Wikki Stix just might be my favorite supply in this category. I have a slight obsession with this activity! I’m a huge fan of simple and beautiful nature activities and this fits that definition perfectly. Just a warning, you might want to join in on the fun! Looking for a simple stone activity that is no prep, totally doable for even the littlest rock hounds, and turns out bright and beautiful every time? I have just the activity for you! Just gather two inexpensive items and you have a good 30-60 minutes of free time to get some work done. ![]()
