Kids Go Loony Over Silly Bandz
I always struggle to come up with gift ideas for my little niece. She is four years old, which is a particularly tough age to find gifts for if you ask me. By now she’s outgrown baby toys and is in the intermediate stage between early childhood and becoming a “big girl.” I’m ashamed to admit it, but most of my gift ideas recently have been generated by salesmen at the toy store, not myself.
But this year was different. One of my friends clued me in to Silly Bandz, which are little rubber band bracelets formed in the shape of a variety of characters. Personally, I don’t see the allure of these little toys, but apparently kids are going crazy over them. And my niece can be included in that group, as she was ecstatic when she opened her package from me and found a collection of animal Silly Bandz.
Silly Bandz: The Latest Trend in Kids’ Toys
Anyone who has raised children in recent years knows what Beanie Babies, Furbies, Tickle Me Elmo and Pokémon have in common, and now there is a new product to add to the list of fly by night toy fads: Silly Bandz. Essentially, Silly Bandz are simply rubber bands which have been molded into iconic shapes, such as Disney characters, animals, instruments and much more. And while it may not seem like glorified rubber bands would be a hot commodity for our technologically-advanced children, they are undeniably the latest craze.
A recent article from MSNBC highlights the company behind Silly Bandz, Brainchild Products. Business is booming right now, but people associated with the company recognize that the craze may not last. There is currently an extensive marketing campaign underway to fuel public knowledge about the fad and drive sales before it—like all trends—inevitably fizzles.
Silly Bands…Kids Can’t Get Enough
The silly bands were a perfect idea for my nephews Easter Baskets. The oldest especially loved the Rock Bands although I thought the Spring bands were the cutest.
These bands come in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Kids love to wear them and trade them! The only problem is they can’t get enough!
