If your kids watch TV, then you’ve seen the Bendaroos commercial, “Benda-what? Benda-whoo? Bendaroos!” My son was in heaven when Bendaroos sent us a package for us to try out and I couldn’t be happier with these bendy sticks! With no mess and plenty of things to create, they’re keeping my kids occupied!
I’ve got some stashed in the car, a few in the church bag, and some in my purse for the lines at the grocery store. Here’s some of the creations my kids came up with. We’ve also been making some mini light sabers with these too.
________________________________________________________
Now for the fun part. Bendaroos wants to give away 5, yes I said 5, variety packs to Make and Takes readers! Yay! Each is a Mega set of 500 pieces, plenty to create all kinds of fun things.
Giveaway Entries: For your chance to win one of 5 packs of Bendaroos (5 packs = 5 winners), leave a comment on this post by Monday May 11th @ midnight. I’ll announce the winner chosen from random on Tuesday morning May 12th. Good luck!

They sound great, but I’ve never heard of them. An American thing, perhaps?
I’d love to win these for my boys. We got a small pack once at a diner we went to that has famously long lines to get seated. Kept all three of our boys happy for the entire wait!
My niece would be in heaven. They look like fun!

My niece has been begging for Bendaroos for her birthday! I would love to win a pack!
Sheesh…maybe if we get some he will stop all the whining about them!

looks like fun–I’d love to win! thanks!
Ah! I didn’t actually know what these are — someone gave a small pack to my daughter and I never saw the package. They’re amazing! She mostly uses them to create pictures on the wall (which freaks out people who think I let her draw on it, lol!) since they stick and then come off cleanly. I love them!
My daughter would be so dang excited if I won these. Every time the commercial comes on , she talks about how much she wants these. Thanks!
I am past my due date (with no end in sight) and trying to come up with activities for my kids to do while I am in the hospital. These would be perfect as my babysitter is not all that aware of kid messes.

My aunt used to sell these in her toy store, Kid at Heart. They are SO NEAT! Perfect to keep stashed in the glove box or in your purse for antsy kids if you get stuck in traffic or a waiting room.
How cool! My three kids would LOVE something like this! Especially my 14 year old daughter (going on 4) and her 3 year old brother (who is turning 4 in a few weeks!) Would be great for my “6 cousins” preschool class that I teach twice a week too. Another blog was using these to teach her child letters and numbers.

I had never heard or seen these (and my kids do watch TV) until the family ate at a neighborhood restaurant and they gave about 10 each to our boys. They are addictive even for the adults. Super fun.
These would be great summer fun. Hope we win!
These look like fun! I’ve wondered if they’re all they’re advertised to be. My brother in law is turning 9 in a couple weeks and asked for these, I had looked them up online, but wasn’t sure if they were worth it. Even if I don’t win I think I have to go get him some! I saw them at Toys R Us, and also on a few places online.
My kids are always begging for these when we see the commercial on TV.

My four-year old daughter would go just nuts over these. She’s always asking to some sort of craft project and most of the time it’s something that I have to supervise. This would make a nice break for me. She can craft away on her own.

How exciting! We would LOVE to try out bendaroos…..I think my kids would have a Blast! Thanks for the chance!
Bendaroos! My girl has been talking about these since last year! It’s nice to know they’re tried and true; we’d love our own set to play with!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Starr :D
Thank you for this giveaway! These look so fun, especially for car traveling which we will be doing later this month.
My 7 year old has been begging for these. They look so fun.
I would love to win these…my kids have been given them to play with at a restaurant and there are so many things that can be done with them. I hope I win some!
What fun! I have seen these on tv! My kids would love to win!
I don’t know if I’m not asking for trouble with these. My three sons might drive me crazy with them-but they look cleaner than play-doh!
I have my fingers crossed! I know my daughter would love these! She shouts “I want that” every time they are shown on TV.
I have never seen these – they look too fun.
These look great! My kids would love them!
My kids would love these. They recently were given some wiki sticks at a restaurant and they loved them. I think that bandaroos are even better!
These bendaroos look like fun! Thanks for sharing all of your great ideas.
These look like a lot of fun! My kids would love them.
My kiddos love this commercial so I’m excited to have a chance to win – love the idea of tucking a few into the church bag (something quiet to fiddle with).
Good luck to all of us!
My two little kiddos that would love these. And no mess…how great is that?
My boys have been wanting to try those!
I played with these as a kid, they’re awesome!
Fawn
My boys would love those!
I haven’t wanted to spend the money on them, but they look like so much fun! Thanks!
There was a product that came out a year or so ago that was called Wacky Stix, or some such thing. It was like a sticky wax covering string. I thought it was such a simple idea, but my daughter loved it. I think these are very similar and that other product I’ve never seen again. I’d love to have them around again!
I hope we win! Love all of the crafty ideas!
I’d love to have these for my kids!
Are these like Wikki stix?? They look similiar.
What a great giveaway! My daughter will be the happiest girl on the planet if she wins! And it would be sooooo great for our cross-country flight next month!
How cool is that! My kids would LOVE these. They always are asking for them when the commercial comes on! Thanks!!!
Oh, pick me!!! My kids asked for these for Christmas, I gave them pipe cleaners, not quite the same thing. They would love the real Bendaroos!
oh my goodness! my son would be beyond thrilled! He has begged me for these everytime the silly commercial comes on. I am the worst mother in the world because I won’t just fork out for them. So you would make us both sooooo happy! Fingers crossed!
Oh my heavens, my boys ask for these every time they see them on a comerical! This would be so fantastic for us! Thanks for the fun giveaway!!
I have been given the gift of my first grand child. Best of all this special gift was born on my birthday!!!! I have been stocking up on some fun things to do with him in the future when he comes to Grammy’s house. BENDAROOS sound like GREAT FUN!!! I’d love to add BENDAROOS to my collection!!
My granddaughter has been begging me to buy these for her. I love this site and find so many projects to make with the kids. Thanks for all the time put into the website.
I know my grandsons would love those things . I can image all the things they would come up with. They would be a great surprise from memaw, since I live 8 hours away from them. Love to send them educational toys.
I don’t need them. I stash pipe cleaners aka chenille stems aka bendaroos in the car, church bag etc. too. I love them very much, soft, quiet, fun, not too distracting, not destructive. All smart moms will get these and leave the crayons out of the church bag…
I just wanted to comment because I adore my daily fun ideas. I recommend you to everyone. I love Make and Takes!! Thank you!!
PS The giveaways are super too!
These look like so much fun! I bet my kids would love them

Oh, a delightful activity with no messy clean-up…sign me up! Right now, at this VERY second, I’m up to my eyeballs in 3 creative children that have 2 different kinds of tape, construction paper, markers, glue sticks, and a sticky substance that may be left over from last night’s dinner. See how dreamy this new toy sounds to me??

My kids are always saying “I want those, mom” when they see that commercial, what a great give away.
Seeing as to how many people have commented and how I NEVER win (well, just once I’ve won a giveaway) I doubt I’ll win; however, it’s always worth the try.
I had wiki-stix when I was little. I would love to win these to play with my toddler. I know she would love them!

I really love the drawings that the kids come up with, stuff I would never even think of myself.
It really brings out the creative side in children which is highly important I think in this computer day and age.
My 5 year old wants these… and her 6th birthday is in 2 weeks!
This is one of the few commercials I have watched with the kids, and they would be thrilled to receive these to play with. (Unless you are also giving away some of those hangers that fold down to conserve space- they love that commercial too!)
What a fun little product! Thanks for the giveaway!
My daughter begs for these every time she sees them!
Oh I’m so glad its not midnight yet, my daughter has already talked me into the Topsy Turvy and Water Globes, and Bendaroos are on her list! She loves those types of commercials, especially when they “double the offer!” She’s so funny, today she told me “Its THAT easy!!” as I filled up the Topsy Turvy.
My daughters have been begging me for these! I hope I’m not too late to enter!
