My children have gone loom band crazy. Every morning starts with a conversation about how many bands they can take to school and ends with them showing me their latest creations. Even my 3-year-old can make them!
Here at Science Sparks, we like to add a bit of science fun to everything, so we brainstormed some fun learning we could do while making bands.
Loom Band Ideas
- Colour recognition
- Making patterns
- How strong are the different types of bands
- Which is the strongest type of bracelet
- Are longer bracelets stronger
- How long is the bracelet and what is the perfect number of bands for your wrist
Loom Band Patterns
We started with some simple patterns, what do you think?
Then we did some measuring. My 7 year old is trying to make the longest loom band in the world. According to our research the current record is 60,000 bands!!!
What patterns can you make?
More loom band fun coming soon!

I love the science connection to the currently popular loom bands! {I also love how you see science learning opportunities everywhere.}
