My Favorites!
There is a new commodity in our house. As of June the Silly Bandz phenomenon has hit our house big time. From the get go I have liked Silly Bandz or Silly Bracelets or Googly Bands…any brand will do, as they are inexpensive and easy to get (now, they are) and just plain fun.
I cannot tell you how many times a check out person has looked at my Silly Bandz purchase and said something negative about them! Number one, why are you giving me your opinion on my purchases? Why do they do this with me? Number two…what is wrong with fun? Good cheap fun, that does not need to be plugged in the wall or cost $59.99.
In our house if I have an undesirable extra chore I need done, I offer a Silly Bandz. If the girls have friends over and they need something to do, Silly Bandz trading time! In the car on the way to Lake Erie, Silly Bandz trading time! I have a bag I have with many different types of Bandz and I just reach in and grab them or trade with them.
Enu is my one child who can take Silly Bandz or leave them. She does take them though and use them to bribe give to others when she is not wanting to do something.
Mita loves the rings and has conned her sisters out of most of their rings.
Meg broke down and spent her own money to buy Harry Potter Bandz. This is a big deal for her as she does not spend her money on anything…she is saving for college.
Elle has piles of bandz all over the place. She cannot find them usually, but when she does she is so happy it is as if I had just bought them for her!
Me? I have a few Bandz in my permanent collection that are not up for trade. The pirate theme, Toy Story and Harry Potter ones are my faves. I do not wear them out and about or stare at them daily, but I got them and I like them!
Meg's hand turning blue... I made her take them off!My favorite!
What is your favorite Silly Bandz design or do you hate them so much you want to scream?

I like the rings, they’re really cute!
My boys are way into them as well. They love the base ball teams, Yankee, Met’s and Red Sox’s.
I love how Meg has her color coded, my boys never do that but I’m amazed how many they can get on their arms.
I wonder what will happen when school starts, they were banded at their school, too many kids were playing, or shooting them like rubber bands.
I love that they are cheep and get the kids interacting with each other.
