Rainbow Loom

The Rainbow Loom craze fairly exploded over the holidays at the start of 2014. Educators, psychologists and therapists all praise the hand-eye coordination, fine muscle skills, math applications and concentration children develop while "playing" with this remarkable toy. Both boys and girls share enthusiasm for designing and producing not only friendship bracelets but charms, pencil grips, cell phone cases and action figures with the simple looms and silicone bands. While retailers have been busy offering imitation looms and variations on the Rainbow Loom idea, for the most part Rainbow Looming has expanded into a social activity shared among small groups of friends as well as being passed along on the social networks of the Internet.

How much does the Rainbow Loom kit cost at Michal's?

Asked by Wiki User

Because Michael's craft shops have frequent "specials," coupons and other sales, it is difficult to be certain of the Rainbow Loom kit's exact price from week to week. Prices also might vary in different locations. But both Michael's and Learning Express toy stores would need to keep their prices reasonably close to those at Amazon online, which at this writing is $15.49 for the kit.

What is the difference between the rainbow loom and the cra-z-loom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Rainbow Loom is the original, authentic rubber band looming toy created by Cheong-Choon Ng in 2010, and patented in 2011. It is manufactured to strict quality and safety standards. The pin bars can be arranged in several different configurations for various looming projects. Additional pin bars, replacement parts and accessories are available through the Rainbow Loom website. For creative users looking for lots of options and high quality, the original Rainbow Loom is a good choice.

The Cra-Z-Loom is a less expensive imitation, made by a different manufacturer. It is made of a solid plastic piece so the pin bars can only be used in their original configurations. But for young children who are prone to losing small parts or might shift their interests frequently, this might be a more practical choice.

How long is the world record longest rainbow loom inverted fishtail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A reliable answer is not possible. At any given time, someone, somewhere in the world, is looming a single chain that could be longer than any made previously. Also, most of the Rainbow Loom projects being made are not reported or recorded by any official agency, so there is no way to know how long the longest single chain might be, or when or where it might be made.
