But DD has a history of weak fine motor skills (exhibited with coloring lightly and some trouble with handwriting), so I'm thinking maybe this will actually help her dexterity and strength? I was also worried about the mess it would make and the fights that might ensue with the 2 yo around, but we'll see how it goes... I'll let you know :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-about-the-rainbow-loom-craze#post-1424310 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 11:53:17 +0000 T-Mom 1424310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SAHM0811: ooh let me know how it goes with your DD. I don't know if my DD is dexterous enough yet but was thinking about buying one for her and saving it for later.</p> <p>I got one for my 9 yr old niece who lives in Singapore.<br /> I think she's gonna start a craze there too :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-about-the-rainbow-loom-craze#post-1424132 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 11:09:46 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1424132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and had a two week time period when I was obsessed.
