SEATTLE, WA (JANUARY 24, 2025) - The sticker bracelet that has taken the world by storm and generated hundreds of millions of views on social media has been crowned Creative Toy of the Year  at the 60th U.K. Toy Industry Awards!

“Sticki Rolls is a perfect example of how pop culture and social media trends can spark product creativity and innovation in toys.” says Lev Nelson, CEO of Sky Castle Toys. “The concept came from the friendship bracelet trend and we translated that into a product that allows kids to interact with stickers as a form of self-expression and collectability. To see that idea transformed into a global phenomenon and recognized with this award is truly humbling. A special thank you to Character Options for their incredible support in making Sticki Rolls such a success in the UK.”
