I'm Michelle Cox -- the owner of Lipstick to Crayons. I’m also a Mom to three kids (a teen, tween and toddler), a professional writer (www.michellemcox.com) and a blogger (www.fromthemom.com). And I love to save money (and help you do the same) via frugal deals and steals, coupons and other thrifty practices. My freelance writing business allows me to enjoy the great balance of being a stay-at-home/work-at-home mom, while also making time for blogging, running (ran the Chicago Marathon twice) some amateur photography and scrapbooking. I’m a St. Louis native, although I have lived outside of the city and the state. A few of my passions are amateur photography, scrapbooking and attending kids' sporting events.

Bendaroos Giveaway

April 20th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

Bendaroos_mech_03I love Bendaroos and if you are a close friend of mine then you know that Bendaroos are my favorite gift to give the 10 and under crowd.

Bendaroos™ Magic Wax Super String are tons of fun, hours of pleasure and kids never get bored because there always more new and fun things to do with Bendaroos! Super durable and easy to use Bendaroos can do just about anything. Create your favorite animal, boat or bridge. Transform ordinary items in cool things a space ships or treasure chest. It´s endless what your kid can do with Bendaroos. Decorate a vase, a frame or make a picture on the window them just remove it! No glue, no stains, no mess! Kids love Bendaroos and so will you.

butterflyMy kids are always amazing me with their Bendaroos creations and I love that there isn’t any real clean up. I do recommend this craft only for creative kids and no younger than five because Bendaroos requires a lot of imagination unlike Play-Do and similar craft materials.
