Hello!

My son was happily playing in the lounge with his new lo band set. I went into the lounge to discover he had got a perfectly good fishing tackle box to arrange all of his loom bands in the little boxes in colours as well as his tools. I was so proud as we haven’t used the tackle box in a few years and he carefully placed what small amount of items we had in it in the fishing bucket in the garage. It looked great and will keep it near and tidy, as I’m always on his case about keeping things tidy and picking up after himself.

  • Obviously he is listening to you. It is a great feeling to see them think and do it without even having to say anything.

  • They are these kits that have a little board that you can pop small rubber bands on to creat bracelets etc.

  • I was just so happy that he thought of this and took it upon himself to use his initiative and go and organise it. I’m also happy to report that I have found a single band around the place :)

  • We don’t always give our kids credit for their amazing minds.

  • I’m in shock that a boy came up with this idea lol only joking no that’s a great idea my friends daughter has so many of those bands and she’s forever finding them everywhere think I might mention this storage idea to her.
    Thank you.
