Special Holiday 'Silly Bands' Bracelets for the Kids

by KYW's Hadas Kuznits

A hot new trend for kids comes with a Philadelphia twist this holiday weekend.

You've heard of silly bands -- those rubber band bracelets that come in different shapes -- now there are silly bands geared specifically for the city of brotherly love:

"These are exclusively Philly, and we love Philly. They're called Phillybandz."

George Flowers is with the company Bandz Bandz:

"They're a limited edition and they're dedicated to the history of Philadelphia. They're in the shape of The Liberty Bell, the Love Statue, the word Philly, a flag and a kite for Ben Franklin."

And you can only get them here in Philadelphia: "You can buy them at the Franklin Institute, the Independence Visitor's Center, the National Constitution Center and all kinds of street vendors around the city."
