Ok, we resisted the steak knives, Bowflex, diet pills, and Mighty Putty, but we succumbed to the Bendaroos! Ok, to be honest DD saved her own money and asked to purchase them. After some investigation, I decided I was ok with it, so after making it through the online ordering where I was offered to triple my order, get two more sets for less, get free shipping on a third set, free steak knives...I finally made it to the end and managed to order just the doubled set of Bendaroos they advertise on tv.
Happily, the Bendaroos came much faster than the 4-6 weeks everything ordered off the tv seems to take. And the Bendaroos are actually pretty cool! They are as much fun as they seem on tv, and they are a toy that really encourages creative and imaginative play, unlike so many of the toys out there today. The pic above is DD's copy of the snowman they show on the commercial. Pretty cool, eh? She literally played with them ALL DAY the first day she got them.
I'm sure if you're a mom of young children you've seen this commercial 3,000 times by now and I figured I'd just let ya all know, I give Bendaroos a thumbs up! (This isn't a paid post for Bendaroos, btw - just my opinion I wanted to share.)
The end.
Any time that something keeps a child occupied for a full day it is sure worth the $$. And look at her creativity! Please tell her I like it!
ReplyDeleteGood to know! (Now, Bendaroo company, send this woman some free shtuff, stat!)
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly the kind of "toy" I'll be buying for those future grandkids :-) Love anything that promotes creativity!
ReplyDeleteCedar - I told her, thank you!
ReplyDeleteColleen - Mommy Always Wins - Yeah Bendaroos - send me some free stuff! :-D
Kim - I so agree with you - so many toys now rely on electronics, it is great when you come across a toy that doesn't need batteries. A toy that a kid can invent all kinds of ways to play with it. And they don't make any noise either, when is always a bonus. :-P
Ah Man! I've been resisting those too but my kids have been BEGGING. I tell them "It's never as fun in real life as it is on tv" and now you have to go and blow my excuse. MAYBE I'll give in.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's snow man is way cool. I'm glad she's enjoying them. I'm also glad you resisted the bowflex. My friend says it's a very expensive laundry hanger.
I've been trying to make my way to ALL the homes on BooMama's tour and leave a comment - - -nearly EVERYWHERE I go (and I'm going pretty much straight down the list) you have already been there and done that!!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, and as ONE grateful blogger who loves comments, let me just say a BIG thank you!!!
I'm only in the 100-teens somewhere and I THINK there are over 800 tours, so I have QUITE a ways to go to accomplish my goal.
Merry Christmas
They look adorable! I'd never heard of them before. I hope you-- er, um, I mean, your DAUGHTER-- has a lot of fun with them!
ReplyDeletethis was a really helpful post!!! I was considering getting them for my nephews because they love to play with that play dough stuff but it was outlawed at my sisters house for one reason or another. I think maybe the littlest ones were eating it or something, no telling really. Anyway I was wondering if they held together the way the commercvial showed and it sure seems to. Thankies ma'am!!
ReplyDeletei only saw an ad for this product this morning, but wow I was tempted, and I don't even have kids!! :D
ReplyDeleteYou can find the Bendaroos at Walgreens. We discovered this AFTER we bought them and paid a S& H fee... ARGGGG.
ReplyDeleteBut they ARE pretty cool.
