1600_DIY-Cobra-Bands_boy-682x1024Once some boys hit a certain age, they go out of their way to make sure that nothing they associate with is too “girly” (to avoid cooties, probably). But with the DIY Cobra Bands kit from Alex Toys, all kids can get in on the bracelet-making, DIY craze, and easily make their own bracelets, while having a lot of fun doing so.

When I was younger, I shamelessly spent a lot of time and my allowance making lanyards—enough to know that the cobra is one of the more popular types of knots. Made for kids ages 8 and up, this kit comes with everything they need to make five different bracelets. It includes 10 nylon paracords, five buckles, and a finishing tool.

When kids are done making the band, the final result is a really cool, high-quality product. Plus, the ends are finished so no scissors are needed. There are six different colors to choose from, so kids can make their bracelet in a wide variety of color combinations. This kit is a great gift idea, and could even be made with a parent or sibling for some bonding time.

Although the cobra knot may seem complicated when you first look at it, the instructions are easy to make learning the knot a breeze. Kids will eventually get the hang of it, with no trouble, and will probably be thinking of their next bracelet color combination before they’re done with the first one.
