This Grandma saw the “Rainbow Loom” at Learning Express when buying holiday presents. At that time, there were parents and children asking for instructions and commenting how hard it was to use the loom. Not so much this summer. Our nearly ten year old grandchild came home from sleep away camp totally hooked. The seven year old was hooked. Neither mentioned that it was difficult at all. The Rainbow Loom has become the toy craze of the summer of 2013! Children everywhere are wearing bracelets they made on the loom.
The initial kit runs under $20 everywhere. Click here.
At Learning Express, they give lessons on the various ways to make the bracelets. You can find instructional videos on You Tube. Click here.
The grandchildren went through the basic kits very quickly and requested the super duper giant sized kit for our next visit. Of course, we went back to Amazon and found the very expensive giant sized kit and wondered if they would really use the whole thing! They did. Click here.
Grandpa and I got our own bracelets, of course, and even got to pick out the colors we wanted.
The next thing that happened was a request for certain coveted colors that they ran out of faster than other colors. Yes, you can buy bags of certain colors. Click here.
This is one expensive toy craze for summer 2013. I hope pick up sticks are back in for summer 2014.
Joy,
Mema
