The popularity of surprise-inside toys and the desire to create unique unboxing experiences for kids has led to the creation of tons of fun toys, including Vendees, a line of themed vending machine toys branded as "surprise DIY dispensers." Each of the Vendees has its own unique theme—like unicorns, rainbows and sweet treats—and mystery toys that can be used to create a fun DIY craft.
In the Vendees Go Wild! toy, kids are provided with everything they need to create nail designs with bright colors, stickers and stamps. The Vendees Atomic Rainbow provides all the essentials for making DIY lip balms and the award-winning Vendees Holo Unicorn helps kids to customize their very own unicorn figurine with vibrant paint colors and glitter.
With perforated panels, the vending machine-style toy boxes include labeled spots to dispense stickers, mystery surprises and more.
