Silly Bandz have become so popular that some schools have banned them, but that doesn't seem to have squelched the craze for what amounts to nothing more than rubber bands that hold their shape.

Cut into every kind of shape you can imagine these little rubber bracelets come in every color combination and some even glow in the dark.

When your kids are wearing them they look like nothing more than an arm full of rubber bands, but when they take them off the craze becomes a bit more obvious. Farm Animals, Vehicles, Princesses, American Flags and Insects are just a few of the thousands of shapes these Bandz come in, and trading them back and forth is what makes them so fun!

Because they're so popular these rubber bracelets make great party favors.

Put them in goody bags or use them as prizes for fun party games.

Silly Bands Safety

Because these rubber bracelets are actually rubber bands there are some things you should keep in mind before giving them to your kids.

• These Bandz are not for kids under 3 as they can cause a choking hazard. -- Personally, I wouldn't give them to a child less than 5 years old
• Wearing lots of them or wearing them too high on the arm can constrict blood flow, so make sure the bands move loosely around your childs wrist and don't cause any indentation marks.
• Before allowing your child to wear Silly Bands to school make sure they haven't been banned. Lots of schools have banned them due to the distraction they can cause or the potential hazards of wearing too many too tightly.
• Don't let your kids wear their Bandz to bed. They can roll up on the arm and get tight so the best thing to do is make sure your kids take off all bracelets and necklaces at bedtime.

In order to remedy this problem there is now the Silly Bandz Necklace. Your kids can string their bracelets onto these cool neon necklaces and safely display their collection.
