Property me these rubber bands gained for my daughters (4 and 7) as they grabbed the Loomfieber ;-) and you have to provide a lot of supply, what yes then something goes into the money. However, I wanted to test these cheap rubber bands once and compare them with the originals. Among the gums. Colors are very beautiful and many different case. Even a small hook, and S-connectors were there. That's ended up being even with the positive points. When opening the bag flows towards an a strict unpleasant pungent odor, which also does not evaporate when the tapes were then completed. With bad feeling I have therefore given my daughters, the gums, so that they can test the processing. Some rubber cracks immediately, they vary in size, the seam can be seen. The joints broke partially during processing. The main reason but to stay with the more expensive originals is the health of my children for me. Since I invest he prefers more and need me worry. The originals have namely not stunk, are not torn and all look the same. Educational is the production of bracelets made of rubber bands definitely. It makes the children namely a lot of fun, and promote their fine motor skills, and concentration.
