I am sorry for yet another Christmas question. My MIL needs me to give her present ideas for our 6 kids. Four of our 6 kids wants their own Rainbow Loom for Christmas. I was going to buy 1 as a family gift they could all share. But my husband doesn't want me spend any more $ on the kids, now that we have their individual gifts purchased. He also thinks 1 is not enough if they all want to use it. Would it be overkill to suggest to my MIL that she get those 4 kids their own? Or is 1 enough? I do have visions of everyone fighting over 1 loom and having to draw straws or something to take turns. Would it be easier to just get them their own? Or a waste of $? TIA
Walmart has them on sale right now for $13. I'd let MIL know what each kiddo wants, to include the loom kits for the 4 who would like them. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Wonder-Loom-Rubber-Band-Bracele...
One Rainbow Loom amongst 4 will create mutiny.
Ask her to get each of them one, no biggie.
With how inexpensive they are, I would just ask her to get 1 for each of them. Doesn't it sound nice to be able to set the kids all at the table, or watch a show together, and let them all work on their individual looms at the same time?
As a side note, my kids say those rainbow looms are all the rage right now. Probably since the Pokemon cards got banned at school, now they just compare what they made on their looms, lol
Simple, easy and inexpensive gift. Let your MIL get each of the 4 kids their own. Two of our three kids sit side by side making bracelets and have tons of fun together creating and helping each other . They take them on road trips also. It is a great gift.
Buy one and you will have WWIII on your hands...everyday!! Ain't nobody got time(or patience) for that!!!
They all need their own. Sharing a toy like that will only cause huge problems for you, and they aren't that expensive. So I vote for 4 :).
I agree with each their own. My two boys are sharing one and that has prompted some fighting already (we've had it a week)...4 sharing one would be very challenging! If they each have their own, they can work on projects at their own pace and level of complexity.
They'll fight over it. I'd suggest that she get a small version for each child and not the deluxe one with tons of stuff. The ones that don't end up caring for it will just give it all to the others.
Your MIL is asking you specifically what to get each of the 6 kids so let her buy each of them one for themselves. My son has one and it's not something that is easily shared. Good luck.
Since they don't cost too much (under $20), I don't think it's crazy to get each kid their own. BUT, I don't think it's necessary either. Maybe you get two rainbow looms and two kids can share each one, rather than trying to have four kids share one. I think a middle ground is probably better than 1 or 4.
They will fight over it. Been there with our 5 kids.
