Up until two years ago I had never even heard of scoubidou's (except for the cartoon character Scooby-Doo). That was until I got custody of my eight year old daughter and she introduced me to them.

What are scoubidou's???
--------------------------------

Scoubidou's are long thin rubber strings (strands) that come in lots of different colours; they are one metre in length and are used to make all sorts of weird and wonderful things. I have heard people refer to them being similar to corn dollies.

Why buy a book about scoubidou's????

The reason that I have got a book about scoubidou's was because we started to get bored of doing the same basic pattern and wanted to try something different. After hunting through bookshop after bookshop in search of a scoubidou book we eventually found one called "You Can Do Scoubidou".

How much did it cost???

You better sit back in your seats as this may come as a surprise. The book cost a whopping £3.99 from our local bookshop in the High Street. I thought that this was expensive for a thirty-two page book, but cheap to keep the peace so I bought it anyway.

What patterns does it have???

The first that you can do is make letters of the alphabet. All the letters are listed with easy instructions on how to make each letter. Then it moves on to do Numbers 0-9, once again with simple instructions to do each one. Now it moves onto the more creative things a scoubidou pen, Mr. Clown, friendship bracelets, key chains and love hearts. It also has designs for crocodiles, tigers, horses, elephants and Dolls.

The book also includes a number of step by step guides to different knots and loops.

Who can do, Scoubidou???

Anybody of any age can do scoubidou's, but I would recommend supervision with young children under the age of five because of all the small pieces involved could be a choke hazard.

Where can I buy Scoubidou's???

They are available from all good toy shops across the country. You can also obtain cheaper versions of them but the quality is not so good.

My thoughts!!!

I think that this book is a great idea for children it helps their concentration and stimulate their imaginations. I personally do not like making scoubidou's because I find them to fiddly and frustrating. However I have made a few key chains in my time and can even do different patterns, but I haven't tried any of the patterns in the book. My partner however has made a crocodile and a heart.

My Daughters thoughts!!!

She thought that these were great for a short period of time, but as with everything she has soon got bored and moved onto cooler things. But give it another few months and I am sure she will start again.


I think that the book should have came complete with some scoubidou's, beads and other nik naks to make it worth the money. But for peace of mind it was worth every penny.

My daughter and her friends went through a phase of doing these but instead of your recommendation of "supervision with young children under the age of five" I would suggest that adults need to be supervised BY young children! LOL. The knots I used to get into!
