Making Homework Fun with Gomu Collectable Erasers

Each year children seem to latch onto a different collectable trend. Last year was the year of the Silly Bandz, where collectable shaped rubber bands were worn as bracelets and traded amongst friends.  As the craze grew and as with all collectable trends, the schools were quick to ban them quickly putting an end to it all. 
Well this year, the trend looks set to be for a collection that is less likely to trouble the schools, as they actually have a practical use during the school day. 

Gomu are shaped collectable erasers that come in a range of different characters with different value points.  Gomu points let you know how rare each rubber is, the higher the points value the rarer the design.  Each individual rubber can also be split apart allowing you to mix and match the different colours.  There are 10 themes, with over 100 erasers to collect in series 1 and a new website has been designed allowing children to "value" their collection.  

Gomu (Japanese for Eraser) are made in the same tradition of intricate shapes as the original Japanese Iwako.  They are available in individual foil bags (£1), 3 pack(£2.99) and 6 pack (£4.99).

As well as being used practically as a rubber, kids can draw the various characters, make up stories with them or just display them.  Perfect as pocket money toys, or as gifts in party bags - now your kids can take their latest collectable toy to school with them, without getting in trouble.
