I bought the loom kit and an extra bag of loops for my craft-minded grandson (8 y/o) so he would have something to do during a stay at my house. He picked up on how to do the weaving in no time and made several potholders as gifts for his mother and grandmother. He loved it. This set is almost identical to what I used as a kid 50+ years ago, and I was pleased to see that the loops on the new edition are of a good quality sturdy cotton....
