Silly Bandz are basically rubber bands made from silicone that come in many different shapes. These were originally intended to be used as novelty rubber bands or hair ties. Now children wear them as bracelets or anklets. When removed, they go back to the original shape. While not a technological advanced game or action figure, Silly Bandz are one of the hottest selling toys this holiday season. Kids love all of the different shapes (such as animals, musical instruments, food items, letters, miscellaneous items, and even Justin Bieber related shapes) and they trade them with one another in the hopes of getting them all.
The colors and fun shapes keep your children interested as they see what each other has. Silly Bandz are a great way to keep children entertained as they start a collection of bands. Some children have all the shapes and never wear them, while others will wear several (at the same time) as bracelets. This is a growing trend for different age groups. In fact, a few celebrities have even been spotted wearing Silly Bandz, which is sure to add to the desirability factor amongst kids.
The best thing about the Silly Bandz is that no matter how long a child wears them, when they're removed they will always spring back to original form. This appeals to the preteen as they are starting their collections of Silly Bandz. Some use poster boards to display each shape, others keep them in a jar to share and show their friends. Children also trade them as if they were trading baseball cards. Some children want to collect every shape made, so sometimes you will have to look for the exact one your child wants (though they can always trade). Silly Bandz are sold in transparent bags by many retailers, so be sure to look inside to ensure you are getting the right ones.
Silly Bandz also make great stocking stuffers or party favors. (With so many different shapes and colors, you can match the Silly Bandz to the theme of the party.) Your children will love receiving Silly Bandz along with their friends. Don't be upset if they start trading them, as that is part of the fun of having them. Kids like the appeal of trading things with their friends to keep their collections growing.
Silly Bandz come in bags of 12 and 24 and can be found at many stores across the United States, though their supplies and varieties may be limited. They are also available online from different sources; giving you the chance to get virtually any of the shapes available.
Another thing parents love about Silly Bandz is that they are affordable. That means you can get your children as many of the bands as they want, and it won't put a dent in your budget. Even though the price is low, the fun is lasting. All of these combine to make Silly Bandz one of the hottest toys for this holiday season, and possibly many years to come.
