8 Awesome Loom Band Activities (That DON'T Involve Weaving!)

Lilu received a Loom Band Weaving Kit for Christmas this year and it looked like so much fun! However, this thing was IMPOSSIBLE to figure out! The included instructions were worthless, and even after watching YouTube tutorials, multiple grown-ups were still unsuccessful in all attempts to make even the simplest woven project. (So I know it’s not just me!)

However, the thousands of neon-colored bands we just too pretty to toss, so I hung on to the kit and decided to look for some alternative loom band activities.

Here are 8 awesome-looking Loom Band Activities that don’t involve weaving:

A Sensory Bottle is a super-easy way to use lots of these colorful loom bands! Check out these three different types:

Here’s an idea that’s even easier! (Why didn’t I think of it?!)

This is an activity that will keep ’em busy for a while:
