Move over action figures and video games. The hottest infomercial product this holiday season is a bunch of colorful wax sticks — and kids (and parents) can’t get enough.

Bendaroos are everywhere. They’ve been featured on TV, in magazines, and on every kid’s wish list. And there’s a good reason for the hype.

Why Bendaroos became the #1 infomercial product:

  1. Unlimited creativity — unlike toys that do one thing, Bendaroos can become anything
  2. No mess — they’re wax-based, so no glue, no paint, no mess to clean up
  3. Reusable — un-bend them and start over
  4. Affordable — a fraction of the cost of electronic toys
  5. Screen-free — gets kids creating instead of consuming
  6. All ages — from 4-year-olds to grandparents

What makes them “hot”:

  • TV penetration — the infomercial ran constantly during prime toy-buying season
  • Perfect demo product — the commercial showed kids making incredible creations in seconds
  • Word of mouth — once one kid at school had them, everyone wanted them
  • Price point — an easy impulse buy at under $20

Holiday gift cheat code:

The parent seal of approval: Quiet. Mess-free. Creative. Educational. Affordable. That’s every parent’s dream toy.
