<li>
<span>Visual-motor integration:</span> copying shapes and letters with Waxy Stix builds the visual perception skills foundational to reading, writing, and math.</li>
<li>
<span>Self-regulation & focus:</span> ideal as a calming fidget tool for children with ADHD, autism spectrum traits, or sensory processing differences.</li>
