bendaroos set.

Surely you’ve seen the commercials on Nick Jr. No? The Disney channel?

My kids have seen Bendaroos commercials aplenty and they’ve been begging me for months to buy some, repeating the commercials to me verbatim. Bendaroos are actually pretty cool. They’re like strings dipped in wax that can be reshaped endlessly to create all sorts of entertainment. I’ve been finding little artistic assortments all over my house lately. First there was this:


{a little bouquet for my desk}

Then this on P’s wall:



And finally, my two favorites. Of all time.


We’re loving them around our house. Reusable, great for a rainy day or a group of bored kids who want to do a craft. Wouldn’t they be perfect for a birthday party of little girls? I think C and his friends would destroy them in seconds…

If you’d like a pack, now’s your chance. See giveaway details below:

    Bendaroos look like fun! I think my son would enjoy playing with them.

  4. the emily :

    My little boy was looking at this with me (sitting on my shoulders, of all things) and goes “MOM! Bendaroos! Can I please have those?” So I hope we win, for his sake, ’cause no way am I buying them.

    That bicycle is genius- so cute! So far I’ve somehow managed to keep my 3 year old away from commercials, but it probably won’t stay that way for long.
