Can you use fingers? How old are children when they do this?

I was teaching 1st and 2nd graders. The loops are very tight on the loom and most of the children had me helping. There were 14 children, some had no patience for it, some did not want to try, the few who tried needed help, but one little boy got his mom to buy him a loom and loops. I think I might look around for one that you can try in a store. It was not easy for me when I did it. I remember the ones I had as a child were more loosed. You cannot do with fingers. It is just tight. Hope this helps.

Can a four year old do this activity?

It is really a great thing but most probably not for a 4 year old-would get it anyhow and over the year it will be fun to do-little by little-had and 11 and 12 year old for a few weeks last summer and oh did they get in to it with designs-I actually had to get another one but have had one for many years.

What color is the loom? There is a blue and a green loom in the pictures.

My 7" loom is green and my 10" loom is black. I love them because they are made of metal and are very sturdy

How do you keep the loops on as the tension starts to loosen?

I have a 1950's loom (double-sided and size adjustable) that I have made potholders on since I was a child. I just 1. use rubberbands to secure the loops on while removing the loops and 2. When I'm down to the last side i tightly tuck the rest if the potholder that is off the loom under the loom. It's helps a lot. I remember my Mom always having to remove the potholder from the loom after I made the potholder and since it was a hand me down loom from both of my sisters I didn't have a hook. My Dad fashioned 2 different style hooks out of a coat hanger. I still have and use them to this day.
