I had one of these when I was a kid let, and I loved it. I remember making pot holders for everyone. (Not real sure what Grandpa used his for!) I was thrilled to see one available on Amazon, and I quickly snatched it up. My granddaughter is 7 and loves arts and crafts. She's really good at them, too. This is right up her alley - she loves the colorful combinations she can make. This loom is easy enough that she can play with it herself, without having to ask for help from mom or dad. She loves this and I am.proud to now own 2 pot holders that she created just for me....
