Odd i know but what would you do with a load of rubber bands

[ComeWhineWithMe]

DD seems to be a little obsessed with them at the moment, we have so far made a catapult,are making a rubber band ball and a few other bits.
Any more ideas or links ?

Obviously ignore my terrible title Must preview.

Oh good idea. Thanks for that.

maybe use them to do some tie-dyeing?

Rubber Band Palm Trees

Yes, that's right--darling palm trees, suitable for display in any self-respecting home, made of rubber bands. Start with a pair of No. 2 pencils. Wrap them with rubber bands in varying shades of brown or tan so that they are completely covered, top to bottom. Then get a pair of thick green rubber bands, cut them apart into strips about two inches in length and fasten them to the tip of the pencil with more thin brown rubber bands.

My DC made an elastic band ball the size of a tennis ball. It took them the summer hols. to make .

They had great fun .

Make a target (archery style) out of cardboard and poster paint, then practise pinging the bands at it.
