Great practical life excercise for 5 year olds - making loom bands

My son received a band from his friend and wanted to make one by himself. A great challenge for him to start using crochet hook. He really has wanted to start chrocheting but holding the hook and the piece of thread has been too hard for him. This gives a good chance to isolate concepts.

My 3 year old could not do the crocheting part, but really enjoyed putting rubber bands on loops and taking them off after I did the crocheting part.
