Rainbow loom kit at last!

Several days ago, we reserved a Rainbow Loom kit from Journey Toys in Abu Dhabi city and yesterday, we got a call from them informing us that a kit was available and ready for pick-up. Yeah! Luckily, we were really planning to go to the city and so we went to the store asap.

located at 15th street and Old Airport Road

It was hot in the store because the WHOLE building in which it was located had no airconditioning. Even with an electric fan and an air cooler, they didn't do much to bring down the heat. The salesperson was still cheerful despite the temperature. The kit that was available was the old version which had the plastic hook (the new versions have metal hooks), which was okay with me since I can always replace the hook with a crochet hook if it gets broken. The Rainbow loom kit we purchased included a FREE rubber band pack (600 bands, 24 c-clips) which usually cost 20 dirhams. Yeah! (again)

119 dirhams plus FREE rubber band pack

These are the bands that I have made so far. There are many tutorials on how to make different designs available on Youtube. There are even tutorials on how to make bracelets using forks and crochet hooks. Very resourceful! My favorite tutorials would have to be from SoCraftastic because she makes beautiful color combinations and she really explains the procedures well. I saw lots of band colors on Youtube but sadly, none are available in Journey Toys. The only colors they have left when we went there are purple, pink, turquoise, glow-in-the-dark white, and a pack containing silver and gold bands. Their new stock of kits and bands will arrive in 2 weeks but I suggest to give them a call and have your kits reserved as early as possible because they have a long waiting list.
