I was recently contacted by the people at Bendaroos to conduct a product review. I received 100 Bendaroos in Rainbow and Neon colors to facilitate this review.
What are Bendaroos? They are “special wax” over super strong string. They stick and stay together then lift away for non-stop play! Build toys, draw, decorate, shape them into jewelry, wrap them, stick them and transform them for hours of fun.
Bendaroos always hold their shape. No Glue! No Stains! No Mess! Use again and again!
Our budding artist had no problem figuring out how to use them after she tore into the packaging to begin playing with them. They were very easy to bend and they came in bright, lively, child-friendly colors.
There is so much you can do when you play with Bendaroos but they are NOT for children Under the age of three.
Where can you buy Bendaroos? You can buy them at Bed, Bath, & Beyond, Toys ‘R Us, Walmart, Walgreens, KMart or on the official Bendaroos website.
For more information about Bendaroos and seasonal craft ideas, please visit www.BendaroosFun.com or Bendaroos Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/Bendaroos.
