Rubber Band Animals - What's the Fuss?

Shaped Rubber Band


In the modern hi-tech era, where kids seem to demand the latest games console, cell phone, MP3/MP4 player or computer, it's a refreshing change to observe the latest craze for wearing, collecting, trading and sharing rubber band animals.

Now, before I continue, I would like to stress that although I'm referring to these items as rubber band animals they do in fact come in a variety of shapes colors and themes such as animals, fast food shapes, cowboy hats, sea creatures, microphone stands, baseball shapes, glow in the dark, tye dye - I could go on but you get the picture.

What is the Attraction With Rubber Band Animals?

To answer this question we should first go back to late 2009 in Birmingham, Alabama where the craze was first noticed.

The bands started getting so popular with school children that some of the schools decided to ban them due to them causing too much of a distraction to the children. This, of course, added to the already fever like attraction of the silicone animals and fueled the craze to new heights.

Since then, the craze has steadily spread along the East coast and shows no signs of stopping.

What do Kids do With These Rubber Band Animals?

Basically, they wear them on their wrists and forearms, often dozens at a time, forming a stacked sleeve of silicone bracelets. When worn they look like crinkled rubber bands, but when taken off they retain their original shape.

Popular with both boys and girls, of all ages, they are great for kids because they can be collected and traded and are fun to play with. There are some shapes that are getting more collectible, such as the penguin. There are unsubstantiated claims these shapes are not being manufactured in the same quantities as other shapes. This would create scarcity in the marketplace, which would in turn, create a higher demand.

There really isn't too much to say against Rubber Band Animals, as kids love them because they are cute, cool and fun and parents like them because they are harmless and inexpensive.

Silly Bandz - Shaped Rubber Bands Make Fun Grandkid Gifts, Perfect For Long Distance Grandparenting!

Shaped Rubber Band


Do you have grandchildren who live far away? Are you looking for ideas for grandparents to stay in touch and close to grandchildren when living far away? As a Sandwich Generation Granny Nanny to four sweet grandkids who live near me and a whole bunch more darlins' who live several states away, that's something I'm always working on.

Here's my newest plan for fun for grandkids from 5 years old up to early teens - Silly Bandz, also called Shaped Rubber Bands, which can be used to trade, play with, or wear as rubber band bracelets. They are the hot new craze that kids of all ages are loving!

They come in a wide variety of shapes, from animal shaped rubber bands to princess to cowboy to phrases and so many more. If you don't already know, check with your children or grandchildren for the grandkids' general interests. My granddaughters love princesses and my grand-cowpokes love cowboys. Then again, all the grandkids love animals and Toy Story. The Grand-tween loves all of these AND the phrases shaped rubber bands.

You can order one or more packages to be delivered to your grandkids, then call them to tell them all about the new craze that's sweeping the country - maybe the whole world! They may already know about it, but even if they don't, they'll be excited to hear about this fun surprise and you will once again prove that you're a very cool grandparent - and for affordable prices.

You do need to be aware that most of these are labeled for five years old and older. Also, some schools have banned them, as they've found them to be too distracting when the kids start trading them in the middle of class. I would just let your adult kids know about that possibility so they can check with the school before letting the kids take them to school. And one other warning - make sure they don't put too many on a wrist and that they aren't too tight - the same as with regular rubber bands. All of these are very simple and common cautions, easy to work around.

And speaking of these being for five years and older, if you have younger and older grandkids, stickers would be a good option for the littler ones.

How to Make Your Own Rubber Band Helicopter

Shaped Rubber Band


A Rubber band helicopter is a toy that can be made using some wire, a drinking straw, some cotton, some paper and a 3-inch long rubber band. It is a great toy that utilizes the elastic property of rubber bands - of course, to make the helicopter you will need a good quality rubber band so that its elasticity can make the helicopter fly.

Why make a helicopter?

Making a helicopter out of rubber bands is a great project for children. Younger children may need a little bit of help from their parents - There is no greater feeling than seeing your helicopter fly with your child.

The project teaches some basic physics as well - and is a great learning about the mechanics of flight. Flying has always been mankind's dream - and it is most exciting if you yourself can actually build something with your hands that can be made to fly. The Wright brothers, in fact, used a model quite similar to this kind of toy helicopter to inspire their dreams of flying.

The materials you need

The first thing you will need to make this toy is an ordinary drinking straw. Also you will need a piece of wire or a flexible piece of bamboo that is about 25 inches in length, some cotton yarn, a paper clip, some cardboard and a 12 inch long piece of thick paper. Besides this you will need glue and tape for sticking everything together. The most important part of the toy - the material that will actually make it fly - is the rubber band. It has to be a good quality one- about three inches in length - with good elasticity that you should test by stretching the band a couple of times before actually putting it to use. The entire flying ability of the helicopter rests on the elasticity of this band - so you don't want to go using the wrong sort of rubber band to make your toy.

How to make the helicopter

Making the helicopter is fairly simple. The first thing you should do is to loop the wire into circular shape and hold the ends together with tape. Then the yarn should be tied - in two separate pieces - across this loop - one towards the top and one towards the bottom. The yarn helps keep the loop in shape when the helicopter flies.

The rubber band goes on next - looped around the middle of one side of the circle and attached with the paper clip to the other side so that it stretches across the circle in between and parallel to the yarn.

Now the paper has to be cut into strips of different lengths - two of 3X12 inches and two of 6X3 inches for the wings. The cardboard should be cut into a 3X3 inch butterfly shape for the rotor and two 1X3 inch tabs.

The rotor has to be attached to the middle of the straw and the 3X6 inch strips of paper go on either end of it at right angles to the straw and parallel to each other; these things should be glued on.

The 1X3 inch cardboard is taped on either side of the band and the 3X12 inch paper is glued on each tab such that it extends at an angle of 30 degrees from the rubber band.

Flying the helicopter

Hold the bottom of the circle and push the rotor in between the two rubber band strands and wind it up - then throw the helicopter in the air and watch it fly. Remember to buy good quality rubber bands for your helicopter.

How to Make a Rubber Band Gun

Shaped Rubber Band


Back in the days when kids made a lot of their toys, some devious little mind came up with a way to fire rubber bands off more than their own thumbs. Thus was born the rubber band gun. Today, they're enjoying such a resurgence of popularity, that you can even buy guns carved from wood, that replicate actual weapons such as repeating rifles, pistols and more.

But for a simply weapon to give your friends a snapping good time, try this. Gather up a piece of wood, such as a short section of 1x2" lumber, a wooden clothespin, some Crazy Glue, a nail and a hammer.

You're going to want to glue the clothespin at the rear of the 1" side, which should be on top. But first, take a nail no more than 2" long, and 1/8" thick, and cut the flat head off, and file it down. Mark on the piece of wood, where the end of the clothespin will be, and drive the nail into the wood, sharp end down, about 1/3" from where the mark is. Leave about 3/4" of the nail sticking up.

Now drill a hole through the end of the clothespin, with a bit that is slightly larger than the width of the nail. Make sure you drill through both sides of the pin. Apply glue to one narrow side of the clothespin, from the open end, down to the drilled hole. Don't get glue in the hole. Now place the clothespin on the piece of 1x2", making sure it's got the nail fitted through the hole. You might want to try the fit, before applying the glue.

Cut a notch in the end of your wood, just below the top, so you can hook one end of the rubber band there. Now pull it back, and hook the other end over the protruding nail. To fire, just open the clothespin. There should be enough motion to allow the upper part of the pin, to push the rubber band off.

For more zing to your gun, cut a second shorter piece of wood and glue it underneath at a 90-degree angle, to approximate the shape of a pistol. Insert your nail and glue your clothespin to the back of the "grip". This will make for a longer stretch to the band, and more snap when you fire.

The History of Animal Rubber Bands

Shaped Rubber Band


If you haven't seen them yet, you will. Animal rubber bands are the hottest, latest pop craze in youth culture. While the product actually first appeared in 2002 from a different company, the phenomenon has created a manufacturer and retailer rush provide for the very high demand as quickly as possible. For now, one of the world's most lucrative product is an office supply!

The fad formally began five years ago in 2005, when the products notoriety grew on the Eastern coast of the United States and began to spread westward, captivating the attention and interest of school children, teens of all ages and even young college adults. While the fad is not restricted to youth culture (these bands have been increasing in popularity among working professionals and offices across America as well) the demographic driving the craze is largely people aged under 22 years old.

What is it that makes a simple animal shaped office supply so irresistible?

One could point to the wide variety of colors available, a range that continues to grow with the popularity of the products themselves. Likely, it is the novelty of the animal shapes themselves, the selection of which is also expanding rapidly and as of this writing includes dinosaurs, crustaceans and other sea creatures, common zoo animals, ordinary every day house hold pets, birds, reptiles and even bugs.

Even so, the most prominent factor of the bands' success seems to be the very forgiving elastic limit of the band's material--which, unlike the name suggests, is not exactly rubber.

The bands sold during the early years of the new millennium were not very spectacular; they were manufactured from the same material as other ordinary office rubber bands and were not particularly more durable than their traditional counterparts. The animal bands of today, however, just as those that hit stores in 2005, are made out of a crucial component for their famed durability: silicone.

The silicone in these bands are what permits the product to stretch out farther and stay that way for longer periods of time without compromising the overall shape of the band. It also makes it more durable, resilient and prone to a longer use life.

In fact, part of the newer bands' appeal is the fun of stretching them out and watching them pull back into their perfect prior shape, which they can maintain even after multiple periods of use. While they may look childish, they can actually handle the jobs of ordinary bands very well, in some cases, better than the more conventional variety.

Many in the children's products industry have likened the animal band craze to the very similar beanie baby fad of the nineties, which spread to a world wide phenomenon in just a few short months.

Due to this explosion of popularity, competition between manufacturers has been fierce and unrelenting, pushing the quality of similar copy cat products to their best in the process, and the consumers don't really seem to distinguish between brands. This fact is wonderful for competing retailers, whose concerns lie with keeping their shelves stocked with a product known to sell out hours after a new shipment has arrived.

The powerlessness of the brand in this instance is peculiar, but has its ties to the history of the bands the current major vendor is not the one who first created the product; and the nature of the product: simple to recreate. So many competing companies have surfaced in such a short time that the public has yet to find appreciable differences in quality or variety.

For many industry insiders, the predicted market saturation of these bands seems inevitable in this economy. For consumers, that means post fad discounts--not a bad ending to this products notoriety, considering they are just as useful whether they're popular or not.

Animal Rubber Band security concerns?


Image : http://www.flickr.com


animal rubber bands are very popular these days. Kids take these colorful ribbons formed from Miami to Maine, but I'm pretty sure? The short answer is no, but that is quite safe these days? Like every other toy on the shelf will always be security problems if you can play with young children small objects. The purpose of this article is to give each animal bracelets buy a heads-up on safety. I'm not a security expert, but Iwas faced with the common sense of two good parents and I try to do the same for my two boys. My opinion may be worth what it costs, but I want to share my thoughts on this topic. My son and I picked up the police band for several months. I saw him and his friends play with them without any major security problems so far, but the other day when I have some problem that could pose a problem thought. He did not discuss anything about the things I do, and I hopehe never does.

The first safety concern I have is that children with animal bracelets in her mouth. Do not know about you, but I remember when I was a kid I had two tapes of chewing gum or a time. I do not know why I did it. Maybe I was bored, maybe I should be chewing gum, but for some reason I did. As with any small object, there is a real risk of suffocation when children put these things in your mouth. Some of the packages I boughtWarning choking hazard to children under three are listed on the label, but most do not. To see your children while wearing them and remind them often that no other food in your mouth. Also Watch their little brothers and sisters. My youngest is two, so I'm always looking for bands stray animal on the floor or your fingertips, small.

The second security problem, I will speak, the silicone bands are thus able to shootacross the room, just like normal elastics. Growing up my friends and I had some bad wars rather elastic. We stretch class to shoot each other. E 'was fun, until someone took one for the face. The wars usually ended pretty quickly after that. Silicone rubber used to make the bands of the animals is the same as elastic as rubber bands normal, then let your child shoot. We have a strict rule in ourHouse. If you lose shoot em EM. It just takes one shot to ruin any fun.

Singing the right tire rubber


Image : http://www.flickr.com


The car has long been an obsession in our country. TV shows around them, are the protagonists of the film and there are more than enough songs that were written on them. It 's just something about that perfect car, the world is in flames. It 'kinda funny when you're with your role as a MP3 player that is suddenly aware of how popular songs really nothing more than a ride in your favorite ride. Here are some that I have on myMusic player.

Drive My Car "is a song by the Beatles, but if you do not have sense of you, you may find that it is not necessarily a car in this. Never really important to me, the song has a little zip and when I heard this in my early youth I had thought there was a machine. You get a bit 'older and wiser and suddenly realize that the talking heads of the broom. One more reason to love!

My musical tastes have been generallyPlace when I was little and somehow I could manage to listen to the Beatles and then slip right into Van Halen. I've never been a big fan of Sammy Hagar, but when he took over for Diamond Dave, I tolerated. I even went to a live concert of his, when playing at a local meeting place for the free tequila and some of Van Halen tunes that were in his play list to hear. I was fine with the live version of I Can not Drive 55 and while I did not know a great fan of his surprise, theToes tap a bit 'when the coin of this hymn rock pedal hits the airwaves.

No track list would be complete with Low Rider car. If ever a song that every closet air guitarist to show their stuff before, this is the only one. Provides a problem when this classic 70's is put on the jukebox.

Sometimes you have on the chin, when you tried to connect with the ladies and not just the concert goers that a prince in the mid-80s instead. I hadto lie to my friends, I could not admit that I bought my girlfriend a pair of tickets for their favorite artist, Prince, do you think one of his friends would go and I could get a night out with the guys. She led me naturally and I was immediately the next time Little Red Corvette was the radio and I knew all the words.

When it comes to cars and 80 songs, you absolutely must include the red, one of my favorite bands of the period of Rush andBarchetta. If you have ever had the privilege of going to a concert of Rush, you get some experience faster and more intense music of the day. Many of the bands that I heard growing up does not even fixed it for me now, but this is not one of them. This song has been so intense as the Ferrari, it was after. Wind it up and fly along with the only song blasting out the window!
