The Craze on Rainbow Looms!

Many of us may have heard of the new craze in town – Rainbow Looms! Well, what exactly are rainbow looms for those we are hearing it for the first time.

Rainbow Looms is the new craze everyone is talking about! It consists of many colorful plastic bands and a few twisting and turning over a loom to form beautiful handmade necklaces, bracelets, and many more!

You may wonder why this is becoming every parent’s and kid’s favorite fun time activity. Well, while the kids are having hours of fun and laughter, they are also building up several skills such as pattern-recognition, fine motor-skill, handwriting abilities and their confidence, and bonding with mummy and daddy! Endless tutorials are constantly uploaded online to keep the fun going as families can look forward to creating new designs together!

While they learn and play at the same time, mummies can rest assured that Rainbow Looms are perfectly safe for their child. Meeting the US CPSIA and California Proposition 65 toy safety standards, Rainbow Looms are latex-free and do not contain any harmful chemicals that may post danger to a child.

However, as Rainbow Looms get increasingly popular, many online sites are selling its counterfeits and posing as the original.

A mommy’s review:

“This is exactly what my kids were asking for. They play with this constantly and create all kinds of rubberband items.”

Mummies and daddies do take note:

Counterfeits online are hard to differentiate from the original as the packaging may seem identical, however, to avoid purchasing them, purchase only from authorised retailers (Shopping Paradise is the Singapore authorised reseller), as counterfeits not only do not meet the U.S. Toy Safety Standards, they may also contain lead which is extremely dangerous to your child! What’s more, upon breakage, the looms will create dangerously sharp edges that may cut your child, while the authentic Rainbow Looms has controlled breakage, engineered in the U.S. for safety purposes.

Grab your Rainbow Looms kit if you haven’t, and join in the fun with your loved ones, creating beautiful memories while you create beautiful gifts together!

Happy Shopping in Paradise!
