One of the real trendiest things for elementary age kids is making rainbow loom bracelets. It is a great activity, inexpensive, and can bring a lot of joy for your son or daughter. Not only that, but it will keep them occupied for hours learning the different bracelet patterns, And mixing and matching different colors of rubber bands.
When I was a kid, we used to make friendship bracelets for each other weaving different color strings. Today, arts and craft stores are making a killing from selling rubber band bracelets and the loom to go with it. The plastic Rainbow room was invented A few years ago in the United States, and has spread like wildfire. Other companies have infringed on the patent and made their own knock off looms, And have been sued as a result. There have been over 1.2 million units sold to date in United States.
My kids have spent hours with their friends making different kinds of bracelets of all different sizes and colors. They make them for friends and family members and, Uncles, And teachers. I would like to say it is a great rainy day activity, but my kids have spent many sunny days inside creating rainbow loom bracelet after rainbow loom bracelet.
There are different levels of rainbow loom bracelets: from easy to intermediate level. Kids can just go to YouTube, And search for a how-to video for the specific bracelet they are wanting to learn to make. There are several videos for each bracelet with step-by-step instructions. This is a great exercise for the kids to learn hand eye coordination, and is a great way to teach them to follow step-by-step directions. Often times kids just want things given to them, Or they don't want to work, So this teaches them to make something useful with their hands and give it away.
My kids favorite bracelet is the triple single. It is an easy bracelet to make, Is about an inch wide, And takes about 10 minutes to make. Because you can interchange colors as you wish, there is an infinite amount of styles that are possible with the triple single. When my kids first learned how to make a triple single, They made A ton of them. We now have triple single bracelets all over our house.
So if there is an elementary student in your life, and you don't feel like buying them the latest Xbox game, Be sure to buy them A time of new bands in all the assorted colors and they will be happy.
