Am I the only person here who had to google PokΓ©mon?
And now I know I am totally Un enamoured . Itβs those little plastic things that seem to give kids status.
I hate them like I hated loom bandsβ¦those fiddly plastic bands that kids made bracelets with. That went VIRAL!
I have friend who owns a craft shop, and I asked her what her biggest seller was. You got itβ¦. Not yarn, not buttons , not stickers, not beads, not anything that a kid could craft withβ¦.. just a horrendous blob of plastic no use to anyone. Or maybe some kind of talisman, a tiny pretend friend , a miniature very expensive ornament, or some kind of kids currency!
Ok so I teach kids, I teach how to make bracelets, anything they can be proud to wear in their hair, a brooch, a necklace, a bookmark. I recommend useful plastic bits that can be hand crafted like buttons, beads, and didnβt you know β¦young kids are like kittens when they get their very own ball of yarn!!
PokΓ©monβ¦Poof!
