Little Boats recently discovered rubber bands. He loves to wear them, stretch them and even "play" them. So today when we got home I used a few things around the house so he could have a little rubber band board to play with. Also this gave him an excuse to use a hammer so it was next to heaven for him. Again we just used what we had around the house, anything in this project could be changed depending on what you had around your house.
We used brads. We always seem to have an endless supply of tiny brads. But thats probably because sometime in the last 10yrs we needed 2 brads and they only come in packs of Lifetime Supply. You could easily use something larger, which would probably be easier for little fingers and better "sound quality"
We started nailing in a pattern. I had a picture of a very cool folk type guitar in my head. Little Boats quickly put a stop to that nonsense
This was the best part (well, actually the BEST part is when you take off the rubber bands and they shoot and hit mom in the arm) seeing how far the rubber bands can S T R E T C H
Last, but not least, "playing" the board! It was pretty cool to hear the sounds different designs made. Little Boats really loved taking the bands off and on in different patterns.
