Rainbow Looms: Inverted Fishtail using your Fingers. Yes… it has finally happened… the rainbow loom craze has hit the Red Ted Art household.

Rainbow Looms: Inverted Fishtail using your Fingers

And todaye we have the Inverted Fishtail using your Fingers pattern to share with you. It took us a little longer to get there, as my kids are 4yrs and 6yrs old and though the 6yrs old can JUST about manage the Loom Boards, we had to discover “Finger Looming” first. Using your fingers to create loom band bracelets is just so much easier for younger ones. Though do take care that they don’t keep the rubber bands on their fingers too long, as it can get a bit sore!!!! If you do like using the Loom Band Board, there are great Rainbow Loom Patterns here. The thing I really like about the loom bands – especially the Finger Loom Band patterns – is how the kids are all teaching each other. So I have my lovely 9yrs old neighbour (Kids’ Chaos’s son) teaching us how to do the Inverted Fishtail for you. Doesn’t it look pretty? I think it is a lovely pattern and once you get the hang of it, easy to do!

Fun with frozen: making ice grow

I must admit that my grandsons and I have enjoyed watching this movie at home on more that one occasion. So for all you “Frozen” fans out there (and for those of you who just like really cool ice science), here is a fun way to make ice grow just like Elsa does! Well almost – to correctly state this for our young scientists, here is what crystallization means… So I am going to try and explain this but at the end of this post, I will put a video link to where you can learn a little bit more about it and probably understand it better too. It isn’t all that complicated but it helps to have a little extra information. You can color the water first if you would like to make colored ice grow. After the 2 hours and 45 minutes, your water should still look like water and not be frozen. Gently take your super icy cold water out of the freezer and handle very gently.
