Why Would Anyone Want Animal Rubber Bands?

by Myrna J. Smith

Probably anyone who has seen these cute, brightly colored animal rubber bands will want at least one package. Though they are advertised for kids over 3 years old, it would seem very likely that they may make it to the desks of at least a few executives with a sense of humor.

Why would anyone want a big pack of animal shaped silicone bands? Nobody can really say for certain. But, lots of kids are collecting them, trading them, and using them as jewelery. They stretch to fit arms and legs really well, and wearing a whole row of them looks pretty cool.

These new bands are available to collect in several different animal series. You can find many different collections featuring favorite animals such as cats, dogs, turtles, bunnies, ducks, and pigs in lively colors. These are very popular collectibles, and each time a new animal groups shows up on the market, collectors snap them up, too.

Another animal series features zoo animals. The animals also come in bright, collectible colors. This series includes hippos, giraffes, ostriches, elephants, rhinos, and kangaroos. Some kid collectors wear these stretchable zoo animals on their wrists and ankles. The silicone material stretches to fit just about any arm or leg. Once you take them off, they bounce right into their original shape.

Kids who love sea creatures can find these fairly easily. What seems interesting about all of the animals is that adult office workers have taken to using the cute bands as office supplies in place of traditional rubber bands.

Actually, office workers have been caught using the little animals to flip at their fellow workers. Though this function is not at all suggested, you may imagine how much fun some people are having these days at work. They must be masters at clean up after play time is over.

No matter how you choose to use these rubber bands, they are definitely handy. You may use the bands again and again. Because the silicone bands last a long time, the product is not discarded casually or harmful to the environment.

Because the bands stretch so readily, they are very useful for wrapping small presents. They may be used to secure snack or treat bags and become part of the gift. They also work well wrapped around lunch sacks. Whatever use a traditional rubber band may have will also be a use for the new silicone bands.

Children under three years old must not be allowed to play with the bands, however. The bands represent a risk of hazard for them. Families with young children should avoid the bands until their children are older. But for older youth and adults, this clearly stated warning will be remembered. Regardless of this concern, the developers believe that the colorful animal rubber bands will be a useful and fun addition to offices everywhere. The collecting craze has already begun, and the animals are popping up everywhere, so it seems they are on the right track.
