Have you heard of Bendaroos as seen on TV? I’m sure your children have been watching the many adverts – I know my son has. Anyway if you’ve missed all the hype, in short they are flexible building sticks that should keep your children quiet for a few hours if they are into arts and crafts. Each Bendaroo is basically strong string covered with thin wax that makes it an ideal tool for creative activities. They are easy to use and can be moulded into different shapes by twisting and bending. The sticks stay as you put them until you are ready to make a different shape when you just remould them. They are durable so can be used time and time again. They stick to all types of surfaces, such as paper, walls and windows, but they do not need glue so there is no mess and no stains.
