Loom bands everywhere!

I am sick of loom bands!

Do you know what I am talking about?
These things. Look familiar?



If you do, you are most definitely a parent, or close relative of young children, most likely girls. I tell you I find them everywhere, I swear the vacuum cleaner must be clogged up with them.

It was all getting a bit much, but this weekend, we had loom frenzy madness.
They have been around for nearly a year now and the interest just isn’t weaning.

Instead of doing the usual necklaces, bracelets and charms, see below

 


............it all went to a whole new level yesterday.
My youngest spent hours researching animals, objects and fancy patterns and then went about trying them all. There were many moments of frustration and anger, at which point I really wanted to ban the darn things and throw them all into the bin, however I restrained myself.

Despite the grievances, my little one perserved and ended up creating things she was very proud, and I guess secretly so am I. A chicken, a bee and a pencil!




That said, as creative as this is and as enjoyable as it may be, the moans and the groans of failed projects was quite frankly annoying.
Anyone else feel like this? Or am I just a rotten mum?

Freakin loom bands!
