In response to a comment from a previous article about the loom-band craze, I investigated the matter in much more detail and with the objective of creating optimally dithered wristbands. After overcoming several difficulties, such as making anything in an adult size, I definitely believe this craze is wholesome and teaches useful skills to kids.

Most specifically, for a craft that requires all loops to be interlinked, a cursory understanding of directed graphs is essential. Indeed, I find it worrying that there are some five year olds who understand directed graphs more intuitively than some computer scientists.

    Try an inverted piece of tape (like duck tape) on your hand to get the elastic bands.

    I think this whole bit / fad is great! Wish I had the time to be 5.
