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.
bought them for my 4 year old granddaughter and she loves them. NO hair issue here
Gotta love parents who shame other parents just because they haven’t gone through something! Bad parenting? Really?
