Slap bracelets, Pogs and now Rainbow Loom bracelets are the newest thing kids are crazy about. I figured this was just a simple craft that made bracelets and it would pass quickly but I think I am wrong! I had the opportunity to review a
Rainbox Braid rubber band refill pack that are compatible with the Rainbow Loom and I had a lot of fun playing with them!
Most of this post is going to be pictures but I will say that I really enjoyed playing with these. My 3 1/2 year old son joined in and chose the colors of the bracelet that he wanted. The
bands held up very well to all the stretching that I did. This included double looping them on the superhero charm. I only had one break out of all of them I used on him, which I figure was just a dud. The superhero charm was double banded (two bands at a time) so it actually didn't effect it at all.
The colors are very vibrant and come in a great variety. The two pictures above are for comparison purposes. The "C Clips" are what came with the loom and the "
S Clips" came with the refill pack. They both do an equally good job holding the bands together, they just look different. Below that are two black bands. If you can't tell the difference between the two, I'm not telling!
These bands are a faction of the price of the name brand bands are just as good.
Since my little guy is not really the bracelet wearing type (he had more fun chewing on it once it was done than actually wearing it) I went in search for something else to make!
Now I want to make all the super heros for him!
I used this tutorial. I must admit though it's not a very good one but I think he came out alright!
What would you make with your Rainbow Rubber Band Refill Pack?
