Kids have cherished playing with stickers for generations, and now, a new wave of sticker innovations is revolutionizing this beloved pastime.
Sticker play is being revived for a new generation with engaging formats that encourage exploration and creativity, while alleviating parental concerns about sticker placement or potential messes. Sticker WOW! Exemplifies this with refillable sticker stampers that double as collectible characters.
The fun of stickers is also being used to support the development of healthy lifelong habits with edible stickers and daily-use products packaged with sticker sheets or booklets. Notable examples include the Kids Daily Probiotic by hiya and Uoga Uoga Kids’ bath products, both of which are waiting to be customized with playful stickers.
