Bad Product , Bad Parenting or Crazy People Letting It Happen?

November 28, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 5 Comments

We often get asked to review kids toy’s especially around Christmas time but even though we haven’t been asked to review this one we thought we would still give you our two cents worth.

If you’re not familiar Bunchems then you only need to Google the name as its been in a whole “bunch” of newspapers this week for all the wrong reasons. So to sum it up for you, basically this toy which sticks together to make creations (a little like velcro hook and eyes) apparently really sticks to your hair (see image below). There are literally 100’s of pictures online of kids with these things stuck in their hair but why ? What on earth were they doing to get so many stuck in to their hair? I can understand that one might get stuck when a child throws it at another but this many? Isn’t it like lego? Just because it can go up your nose doesn’t mean that is what you do with it right? When it does go up your child’s nose do you go online and blame the product? I mean we can say with 99% surety this product is not likely to sell any more.

Okay so back to how it happened and how it’s possible

Has your child got more than one of two Bunchems stuck in their hair? Please comment below and tell us how it happened so easily?

Meantime we recommend NOT buying this product unless used whilst wearing a swimming cap or shower cap.

The package says not to put it near hair. Looks like the kids are using them like hair decorations not toys so that is why so many are seen with them stuck in the hair. My daughter has them and never has she wanted to put them in her hair.

kids just need to be old to enough to understand the instruction “Keep them away from your hair” … and obedient enough to comply … then they are free to use their imagination and creativity to have fun with these things

Girls make necklaces out of them and once they try to put it over their heads to wear, it’s all over.

Gotta love parents who shame other parents just because they haven’t gone through something! Bad parenting? Really?

Book Review: Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook – Girl Group Edition

If you have a K-pop fan in the house, this is one of those books that feels like an easy gift win.

The Unauthorized Ultimate K-Pop Fanbook: Girl Group Edition is packed with puzzles, games, fan trivia and plenty of stickers, with groups including BLACKPINK, TWICE, LE SSERAFIM and HUNTR/X from K-Pop Demon Hunters.

It’s definitely more fun activity book than serious K-pop encyclopedia, which I actually think is part of the appeal. There are mazes, crosswords, bias-themed games and little references for fans to spot, plus 16 sticker sheets for decorating journals, photo books and anything else that happens to be within reach.

If your K-pop obsession started with K-Pop Demon Hunters, we’ve already got a few more ideas worth checking out, including our free K-Pop Demon Hunters coloring pages and digital images and these K-Pop Demon Hunters learning activities and printables.

And yes, K-pop has even made its way into the craft room with these K-Pop Demon Hunters cross stitch patterns.

I think this fanbook would make a cute birthday present, Christmas stocking filler or addition to a K-pop themed gift basket. Add some gel pens, a journal or photo-card binder and you’ve got a gift that feels a bit more thoughtful than simply grabbing another piece of merchandise.

The book is due for release on October 6, 2026, and based on the preview, it looks like a fun little pick for younger K-pop fans, tweens, teens and sticker-loving grown-ups who are absolutely not admitting how many sticker sheets they already own.
