Is this loom OK for a mom and her 7 year old daughter -- total beginners? Thanks!

I would say YES. I have my seven year old grand daughter helping me with this and if we keep the patterns pretty simple to start with she has no problem and loves it. She is getting one for Christmas.

Yes, my daughter was 14 when she got hers and has had no trouble using it. There is a difficult spot, about halfway when drawing back that takes a little strength, but then it's smooth. But my daughter didn't find it difficult at all. I agree with the other reviewer, get some extra arrows and it's definitely a serious piece of gear, so be careful.

The box says 6+ and I would agree.My 5 year could easily place the loops on for the 1st phase but struggle with getting the hang of the second phase of "weaving" in and out with the hook. That did not deter her from the project though! She happily picked out each color and I helped weave them in. My 7 year did great all on his own. I only had to help do the final loops to secure the potholder once it comes off the loom. He was able to learn to do this as well! My 10 and 13 year old really were quite pleased their creativity as well.

Mine is four grader. I think as young as 8 can start to loom. You have to be patient to work on loom and able to follow instructions of You tube. Need lots of help from parent if u are young. But anyone can start simple fishtail pattern with two fingers! You just need to buy rubber bands! If you want more challenge pattern and level of bracelet, you need the loom set. Worth to invest!

I would think a couple years older but it depends it the 6 year old. My daughter learns all these fun crafts from her friends so what I think might be too young really isn't.

No it won't fit. It barely fits my seven year old. You can buy a larger loom at a craft store and possibly google the directions.

It wasn't bad...my 19 year old daughter and I assembled it together...it did take us longer than what others had mentioned on here. I did have to ask my husband once or twice which way some pieces went. :0)

took me a few hours to assemble. other users said they did it with their 4-year-olds, and i agree that it could be a nice parent-child project. i agree with some of the other reviewers that it may be too big for some children.ellen h

Yes it is. My daughter used this until she was 17 and was able to do different intricate designs with no problems.

Hello, I bought it for my nieces 7th bday and its a nice starter bow. It will require a bit of practice and assistance until she gets the motion down but if she's interested I think it is awesome and you should go for it!

right now, my craft items are packed because we are in the middle of trying to move. Personally, I think that there is ample room for you to store her rubber bands in the side pockets. Inside the zipped top, there are also 3 long, but narrow pockets...more room! There is a large pocket on the outside that should hold the loom perfectly. All in all, I would absolutely reccommend this for your daughter.

My daughter is 7 and she uses it and can make bracelets on her own. Some of the designs are simple chains, etc, which are pretty easy to get the hang of. I have to help her for some of the more difficult bracelets, but she's always involved picking out the colors and putting them on the loom, etc. The worst thing about it is all the little rubber bands that we're picking up constantly! :-)

It would be ok one of my sons is 10 yrs old and he's short too and its perfect especially if he's a beginner I hope this help its a very nice product for beginners : )

I loved it. It comes with everything you need especially if you only have one child it's perfect. I had 2 and they both wanted to do it so I had to buy a separate loom.

My daughter is older but found it easier to make bracelets without the loom. A friend showed her how to make them. The loom is not needed and not sturdy. You can make the bracelets just with the floss. The kind of bracelets I recommend for a 7 year old. Look like little good quality rubber bands with a loom seems to be better once they get the hang of it. Youtube videos help. Toys r us had them at Christmas. They are very popular and better. It depends on the child really. I would recommend no on this one.

Absolutely!! It's really perfect for anyone. My daughter 1st got one of these at 6 and I bought her another one at 7. It's a great, fun and creative craft!

That's kind of a hard question, if you are gentle, it shouldn't break. But with my dad trying to loom, he broke it in less than a minute. So, just be careful and it shouldn't.
