Rainbow Loom - Part 3

Date:  Aug 5, 2014

This is a show case of rainbow loom that my wife made.

Rainbow loom has actually become one of the main hobby.

Every one in the house (except me) knows how to do it.

My wife is actually quite popular in Kay Kay’s preschool.

Most of the time when she is at the LWPS pre-school, the students will greet her.

 

Kay Kay classmates will come and ask “Kay Kay mommy, can you make a rainbow loom for me?"

Sometimes, they will ask for different colour that they like.  “Kay Kay mommy, can you make a pink colour one for me."

“Kay Kay mommy, can I have 3 rainbow looms?"

So, when the news spread out, not only the K1 are coming to ask for the rainbow looms, even senior students in K2 class now making friends with Kay Kay.

"Kay Kay mommy, I am from K2.  I am Kay Kay's friend, can I have a rainbow loom?" 

So every night, my wife start making and producing rainbow looms.

Every night, she tried different colours, different style.

This is like her hobby now.

She kept on making new colourful rainbow looms.

Making more slightly complicated one.

Of course, sometimes, she will employ the cheap child labour to do it.  HaHaHaHa

She kept trying different colours.

Then, she will take a photo by putting them on a black holder.

But have you notice that so far, most of the design is quite similar?

This is one of the complicated one.

She made so many.

This one she place the beads in there.

Making more and more.

Some quite ugly colour combinations too.

Most importantly, she had fun!  HaHaHa.

Even young Kay Kay knows how to do it!

They will learn it from youtube for new design from time to time.

Have fun guys!

Rainbow Loom - Part 2

Date: July 13, 2014

This rainbow loom thingy is really like "Frozen", win the kids heart so easily and the next thing you know, they are eager to learn how to knit more complicated looms.

Kay Kay finally requested to learn how to knit the rainbow loom with the Y-stick.

And I must say, he did a pretty good job for a 4-year old kid.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for his brother, the brother started his engineering mindset, and started to embark on the more complicated project.

To him, it is like a factory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look at my Rainbow Loom daddy. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I must say, he is pretty good at it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a video of Kay Kay knitting the rainbow loom for me.

This also trained the kids in terms of imagination and how to use the colors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what Jay Jay did. I personally think that it is a cool color combinations. It looks great on my hand.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It also looks great in a box.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is what Kay Kay knit for me. It is his first project. And I am happy to receive it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And of course, there got a lot of idea from the youtube.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, now, they are researching of making flowers looms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can't wait to see what they can come up with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following are some of my thoughts...

1) Treat this as like a challenging art project that has zillions of possibilities to boost kids imaginations. It is good for their brain. So, it does not matter if it seems like a girl toys for boys.

2) Good for the parents as every project takes some time to do it especially in the beginning.

3) Good for the kids that they learned how to be patient in making it.

4) To me, it seems very difficult. The kids likes it that is why they have interest in producing it. So, next time, it can be a lesson when your kids say some new things are too hard or complicated, you can use rainbow loom as an example. Why rainbow loom, also complicated and you can do it? HaHaHa

5) Parent like me who don't know how to do it, also happy. Why?

Ole-ole-ole... I get to wear it. HaHaHaHa...
