rainbow loom

have you heard of

rainbow loom?

i read about it in an ad from our local toy store,

then again in the goop gift guide.

chosen by moses,

gwyneth paltrow's 7 year old son,

i figured there must be something to it.

{although the kid did pick a hamster,

and i know i don't want one of those...}

we gave a rainbow loom to ned for his birthday

two weeks ago with the idea that he could

use it to make some christmas presents.

{we also bought an extra bag of rubber bands and clips}

rainbow loom is basically a plastic "loom" to

loop and weave the little colorful rubber bands

into bracelets.

and let me tell you, it is a hit.

ned is 9 and can make the bracelets,

start-to-finish, all on his own.

marian is 14, and she loves it, too.

i'm betting emily will want to take

rainbow loom back to college with her.

{she and her friends make these}

here's a link to lots of fancy

rainbow loom patterns and tutorials.

you know you want one.
