Shaped Rubber Bands

Shaped rubber bands have been a big trend in my neighborhood. These rubber bands come in all shapes and colors.
They can be glow-in-the-dark, glittery or tie-dye.
My favorite shapes are animals. Some of my favorite rubber bands are my glow-in-the-dark unicorn, glittery dragon, tie-dye red white and blue eagle, and my giant brachiosaurus. My babysitter's favorite is a tennis shoe. Max's favorite is a hot dog!

You can even wear them as bracelets
and loop them together to make necklaces.
But thats only one way to make necklaces. There are 2 BIG dinosaurs that you can just put on as a necklace.

At the pool I go to, there's a guy. He sells rubber bands and if you guess the shape of the rubber band he's wearing on his wrist, you get a free smoothie!

Some kids like to trade them. I traded a pink bumble bee for this blue turtle.
Shaped rubber bands are awesome!

  4. Hi Maddie,
    I think these animal bands are cool. I think a hedgehog, squirrel or deer shaped bands would be cute. I think they should make eiffel tower bands or wild cat ones for you. What do you think?
    Love,
    Mom

  5. Hi Maddie,

    These rubber bands sure do look distracting. Hopefully your school bans them next year.

    Love,
