Cool, Creative and Colorful ALEX Toys Gear Cobra Bands: Exciting Building and Crafting Fun! Review

is so cool. The instructions will show you how to make them. It was a bit difficult for my 6 year old but he did pretty well. We now have time to hold it together. I'm not sure if I ended up not tying it right or something. I hope in the end I will understand how to become addicted. The thread is thick and will last.

This was the best set for my 12 year old son. He made them and sold them at the Christmas market of our home school cooperative. It's very easy to have everything in one set. These were very good quality bracelets that all the boys liked. And now that he has experience, we can buy supplies and do a lot of other things ourselves. I highly recommend it!

This is normal. My son was so excited but had a hard time doing it on his own. Not only that, but the fact that he followed the instructions to the letter, the bracelet was HUGE on him. It was even too big for me and fell off my wrist. I ended up disassembling it and redid it for a lot less. I didn't like repeating. It would be nice if there were instructions for different sizes.

My son loved them when I gave them to him for Christmas and I bought another set for Easter. He likes these handicrafts very much and he and his friends wear them everywhere.

Both my grandkids loved making cobra bracelets and now wear them with pride. On each visit, I try to fill our time with crafts, board games, science experiments, gardening, cooking, and other activities that allow us to detach from the online world. Finding activities that are both appropriate and challenging for my grandchildren, ages 8 and 13, is not easy. The Cobra Bands were easy enough for the youngest grandchild but still kept the older grandchild interested.

These ribbons look fun and are relatively easy for my 10 year old to make. The problem is how they tell you to tie them up. They hand you a thin wooden stick and expect you to weave the ends back into knots that are already tied and tightened. It was almost impossible for me and very frustrating. I don't understand how a child can do that. We ended up trimming and melting the ends, but both solutions left a large, bulky stain on one end that was too uncomfortable for my son to wear. I would…

It was a bust in a Christmas present! I bought 2 of these for my 2 boys. My 12 year old watched it first and had to start all over again because he ran out of cord before he got to the end. I've lost count of the number of times he's unbuttoned it completely! He tried again the next morning (yes, it was that bad!). We adjusted the length several times and it's still not a perfect end product. In the end we settled on 6.5 inches and then he had more! And weave the spikes back into the already…
