What are STiKidotz™?

STiKidotz™ is a children's toy: think re-stickable 2D silicone pixel stickers that you can design and redesign yourself! The silicone material is very flexible and are perforated so that they can be torn into any shape.

The designs are made using colorful 4x4 perforated dotzBLOK™. The blocks are easily separated to make the brightly colored dotzPIXELS™ that are used to design the sticker.

Each sticker base is backed by a non-toxic adhesive, specially formulated to allow you to stick your design on any smooth surface. It can be removed and repositioned without leaving any residue behind. The sticker can be used on walls, windows, lockers, car bumpers, refrigerators, photo frames, signage, cabinets, mirrors, bath tub, tiles and more. The stickers can also be used outdoors.

Together with a team of passionate toy makers, we raised over $5K in funding through Indiegogo and Kickstarter.

While technology is a useful and necessary part of all our lives, we look at STiKitdotz™ as a way to create a family bonding experience outside of a digital environment. Products like Minecraft show that there is an appeal to creating and designing a pixel art world, and hope to find a way to use that interest to drive people away from “devices” to create and build with family and friends IRL (in real life).

Something else that we are discovering in the process of sharing our ideas with family and friends, as well as strangers, is the educational potential that STiKidotz™ has. It is a fun and engaging way to practice fine motor, design, graphing, visual spatial, and creative world building skills. We think STiKitdotz™ would have great success in the classroom and hope to see them used as part of a STEAM-related curriculum.
