What are loom bands?

Loom bands are rubber bands which you link and loop together to create bracelets, charms and figures. Rainbow loom boards are available for people who want to create different bracelets (from the standard 'chain'). They come in a range of different colours and patterns, kids from a wide variety of ages love playing and creating different things with these easy bands. The bands themselves are very cheap, but expensive loom board and hooks are available.
