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!
