my kids have been playing with these - and strangley enough they have not managed to turn a small elastic band into a deadly weapon.

must be doing something right as a parent.....

The strangley bit sounds concerning.

[original PM]

If you wrapped kids up in cotton wool there's a percentage chance that one would suffocate.

And then you'd have to ban cotton wool.

I will never have them in the house again.

That's a bit extreme, poke him in the other eye, send him to bed or tell them off but to ban them from the house?

There should be a warning on cotton wool packets.

And the other side of the coin....

If my kids could do this I wouldn't ban the bands, not while they had at least one eye anyway! SFW

My kids are really into these - I spent an amusing five minutes or so flicking the glorified overpriced elastic band tat loom bands at them before being firmly told that "loom bands are not weapons Daddy and it's very naughty to flick them people" (I pity the poor boy that she's going to marry one day).

So, nerf gun wars are totally fine, but improvised elastic band weapons are not.

Clearly I have failed as a parent.
