Hexbug Mania!!

So our team decided to sell Hexbugs again this year since they turned such a great profit last year and were a lot of fun!! (And Now is the time to do it as they make great "stocking stuffers"!). I called up to place the order for our first 10 cases (we sold over 35 cases last year!!), and found out that they they made the color change - they added the black bug in and took the yellow out!! That was such a relief because we had a hard time selling the yellow ones last year, and the black ones look awesome! *Cheers to IFI for actually listening to their customers & adjusting!!*

On top of that they told me that the Inchworm is now available for fundraisers at $330 a case (30 bugs - cost $11 retail $20), and that the crabs should be available by January 1st (and might be sooner!!)

I was so excited that I generated a new order form for our kids to use, and figured others could use it as well if they wanted to do Hexbug sales. The one thing to caution your kids it that you have a LIMITED SUPPLY of colors... we told the kids they were only allowed to sell quantities that come from the cases (ie 2 of each color - they cant sell 4 red and no orange), or trade with eachother.

Feel free to use and modify as needed!

(Oh and we are thinking of selling mini flashlights with the crabs, maybe find ones that are 75cents and sell them for $1)

& Happy Turkey Day everyone!
