At this website children can learn many different ways to form lovely and colorful bracelets to wear and give to friends: http://www.rainbowloom.com/instructions
The site shows instructional videos for making bracelets in three levels of difficulty: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. This activity definitely helps children to concentrate, follow instructions, and solve problems. If they need help, this is a great opportunity to do a project together!

Although
this craft has been popular for about a year now, my two older
grandchildren (11 and 6 - boy and girl) and a 15 year old grand-nephew
are still loving making various bracelets of many designs. During
vacation at the beach my grandchildren were each showing me how to
follow several different patterns as we watched the video instructions.
They made some for their PawPaw and me to wear, and taught me how to
make several designs. Some of the easier bracelets can be made on just
two fingers or two pencils, without the loom. The beautiful Starburst
bracelet (advanced) was made by our grandson in an array of bright
colors.
I recently found the Rainbow Loom on sale at JoAnn's for about $8, and packs of silicone bands (300 bands per pack) at A.C. Moore this week at the price of 3 pack for $2, thanks to their other grandma's instructions. This way I can have the supplies here for the grandkids when they visit. Why not have fun by giving it a try!
If your teens babysit, this would be a great project to take along!
