f you kids are like mine, rubber band bracelets may have filled your shopping lists this year. It
doesn’t seem to matter if they are boys or girls - if they are under ten, they’re addicted to the
Rainbow Loom.

I took comfort in knowing our eight year old Connnor was into something other than video
games. We support his Rainbow Loom addiction. We wear the bracelets he gives us and keep him
stocked with supplies. I’m even planning to help him upload a YouTube video of him showing kids
how to use them. At eight, he doesn’t think he’s really accomplished anything unless he has his own
YouTube video of it.
Connor is a very process-oriented kid. That’s a nice way of saying he displays subtle tendencies
some people would define as OCD. I think the process of putting together rubber band bracelets
appeals to him. He looks at it like a puzzle. I like the engineering aspect. First you do this, then you
do this, then you use your tool to take a third step. Do that several times and you have something
of value. It’s a learning tool for us. If your in a similar boat here’s a helpful hint - the $.99 stores
have the best deal on extra rubber bands and S clips. If your kids really take to this, you’ll need to
find extra bands and clips to keep them building. Z
