Use rubber bands to make make a stretching and bouncing Rubberband Man.
The basic steps to the method start with making two piles of rubber bands.
Next you need to cross the piles so that the rubber bands overlap in the middle.
Now wrap a few rubber bands around the overlapping parts to keep them together.
Lastly, take the loose rubber bands and wrap them back around the pile till they are all nice and tight. This will knot them all together and make it strong.
Make Rubberband Man’s arms and legs in the same way and attach them with more rubber bands. Form a ball of rubber bands at the top for his head.
Make several Rubberband Men and some musical instruments for them, and make a Rubberband Man Rubber Band!
