Benda-WHAT? Benda-Who?One of the hottest gift ideas for under $25 dollars during the holiday season is the amazing flexible building sticks, Bendaroos. Bendaroos has been flying off the shelves and filling up web servers with orders. A perfect creative outlet for kids as well as a source of interest for artists, Bendaroos’s dynamic, wax-based properties allow you to form, mold, stretch, twist, braid, entwine, unwind and layer each stick into and endless array of shapes, sizes, persons, places, things and ideas. What separates Bendaroos flexible building sticks from other molding and shaping toys and crafts of its kind even though the Bendaroos sticks can stick together, once you decide to change the shape, the sticks will easily pull apart and maintain their original substance. The Bendaroos sticks will not bleed into each other. Each stick maintains its integrity so they can be used again and again and again. Bendaroos also makes great decoration and colorful touches to household items including picture frames, vases, lamps and more. For those who work in an office, Bendaroos makes a great garnishment for cubicle decorations and an even better way to welcome a co-worker back to work.Bendaroos retails for $19.99 plus shipping.

Children’s toys and crafts have come a long way since I was a kid. I remember playing with LEGOs and Lincoln logs and homemade ooblek. That’s really it. Now there are literally thousands of crafting toys children have available to expand their imaginations.

I recently stumbled across Bendaroos. They sort of remind me of pipe cleaners but a million times more versatile. You can color with them. You can build with them. You can even make masks and decorate with them. Check out some of the examples of all that you can make on the Bendaroos website.

What I think its really cool is that Bendaroos stick to glass, tabletops and almost anything, so you can make a flat picture and then peel it off. Or you can just leave it on the glass like a stained glass window craft. Another great thing is that Bendaroos and unbreakable and reusable.

And parents, you’ll love this. No glue. No stains. No mess. Period.

You get over 500 Bendaroo pieces: 250 rainbow colors and 250 neon colors, plus a Bendaroos fun guide. That’s a pretty extensive kit. Compare that to a 16 pack of crayons. Best part is that you get all that for under $20. Definitely more affordable than the latest video game and more stimulating creative-wise. I’d say it’s a better investment.

You can order straight from the official Bendaroos website.
