Are the rubber bands different colors? Are there patterns with words? This 
sounds fun!

A rainbow loom has small pegs on it and you use rubber bands to create 
different bracelets, animals, holiday items etc.  These can be hooked on key 
chains.

So about rainbow looms.  I am sighted and at first hated them.  The tool 
that came with my kit I was never able to get ahold of the rubber band. 
Similair to using a loom to knit, you place one rubber band on the loom peg 
and it over laps with another rubber band.  You lift the lower rubber band 
over the top rubberband.

I have made ballet tutu's, Christmas Ornaments, Pumpkins, boots, bracelets 
etc.  Now that I have the hang of it, I enjoy using the Rainbow loom.  In 
the beginning it was very frustrating and I even tried it under sleep shades 
so I could teach this new craft to my students.  I could never get the right 
rubber band or they would get tangled up.  Finally I watched a video on 
Youtube.  They were using a different style tool and so I tried using my 
Knifty Knitter tool and I was able to do it much faster and more accurate. 
I even started to enjoy it.

Anyone use these yet?

I ordered a kit and want to try it out.

Someone at the Braille showed me what they look like I might have opened a 
can of worms here.
