I love when the "in" thing is cheap

Def. like that they're cheap, but I don't let my daughter wear them out of the house. I think they look silly, especially when they're stacked up their wrist...

My kids love them! I think they're pretty silly, hence the name, but it's better than other fads. They give them out as prizes in their camps so I never buy them. I just have one rule with them...if they leave them around the house and don't put them away, then into the garbage they go!

They are "in" here too. I actually found some online that are called biblical bandz and they are Jewish based.

There is a reason why they are called "silly bands". They're dumb. all stores sell them here.

I had no idea what they were until a couple weeks ago. my SIL loves them (keep in mind, she's 7) and when my DS saw them he wanted them too...sigh...

Last wk my daughter (6 yo) asked for some because "everybody" at camp had them.
So I told her I will buy her some for 3 days of good behavior in a row. She got her first package this way.
Now I told her that I will buy her one package every week (until she decides she's had enough) if she behaves well (without one single incident) 4 days out of 7 every week. She gets a sticker too for one whole day of exemplary behavior, that's how we keep track.

Found these online. They seem like a great deal and you can get 2 for the one shipping cost.

rb you could check out walgreens, toys r us even walmart sells them for a dollar. I think they're a great tool for my socially challenged son, he likes to exchange his with friends... and they could be afforded by anyone!

Don't waste your $ on them they are dangerous, they make marks on the skin, anyone who lets their child get them is making a big mistake, it stops circulation of the blood. I don't know why there hasn't been any law suit yet.

My daughter got a bunch from someone and then lost them. I explained to her what it does to the skin and she doesn't want to wear them.

Don't let your kids wear them they are not safe.
