Funky Fort Building Aids

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Stick-Lets by Christina Kazakia Make Building From Sticks a Breeze

— February 22, 2013 — Life-Stages
Making a fort out of sticks has never been so easy because Stick-lets by Christina Kazakia let little hands use their imagination and logic to build fun structures.

Created using a simple theory, Stick-lets are made of flexible rubber and feature three stretchy holes that are shaped for holding sticks together in a secure fashion. They can be stretched to fit twigs and sticks of varying sizes, which means the only limits are a child's imagination.

Building forts as a child is a right-of-passage and a terrific way to exercise one's mind in an imaginative manner. If I had had Stick-lets when I was a child, I think I would've practically lived in a stick fort; they make building the little structures seem so simple!
Trend Themes
1. Stick-building Kits - Companies can develop kits made of Stick-lets and complementary components for children to build fun structures.
2. Imagination & Creativity Stimulators - Stick-lets can be incorporated into educational curriculums as a tool to stimulate creativity and imagination within children.
3. Eco-friendly Toys - There is an increasing demand for toys made of eco-friendly materials like Stick-lets that children can interact with and learn ways of preserving the environment.
Industry Implications
1. Toy - Toy companies can take advantage of this innovation by producing eco-friendly kits to satisfy consumer demand.
2. Education - Education industries can incorporate Stick-lets as an educational tool in early childhood imaginative learning curriculums.
3. Outdoor - Outdoor companies can use these Stick-lets to create camping or recreational building kits for families, such as use of sticks, branches and natural components.
