Are your kids into the Rainbow Loom Bands? They are suddenly a HUGE deal at Ian's school and he comes home with more bracelets every day. The kids are just covered in them. They don't actually use the loom - just two pencils.
Any hints on the best place to get the bands?

I see the looms and bands in online co-ops all the time! I ordered one for my younger cousin as a Christmas gift this year with a bunch of the refills. It was around $2.00 for 600 bands.

My kids' school is into them, too--we have bracelets all over our house! We got ours at the ABC Toy store, maybe not the cheapest price for it but I believe locally owned. They sometimes have sessions on how to use the looms too, in case anyone wants a little training.

I know the packaging says 8 yrs on some brands and 6yrs on others. Anyone with a 5 yo tried it? I think DS would LOVE it if he could do it. He is 5 1/2.

I asked Ian and he said some of the kids in the PreK-K class at his school are making them. His advice is just to make sure he won't chew them because they are bad for you if you eat them I promised I would pass that along too.

(and for $2 it's worth a try. It's not a big investment.)

I think the loom is more than $2 but wasn't too much. Maybe I could find a Youtube video about how to do it with the pencils. I think DS would like the loom though. Tell Ian thanks for the info and the tip about not eating them

I have seen them at the Dollar store. Oriental Trading has them in bulk for a good deal too.

Michael's is where we found the Rainbow Loom for about $15 and the bands I want to say were around $2 - $3. The Loom does come with an assortment of bands, can't remember how many but a lot. We have also found a lot of you tube videos to help make the many different bracelets, rings, etc.
