Rubber Band Star (Fidget Activity)

To anyone who has a problem fidgeting during class (or any time for that matter), this activity has helped me focus on the material with great success.

Supplies

- Rubber Band

- A functioning hand

Placement

Place the rubber band at the top of your index finger and stretch it down to the top of your thumb.

Starting the Star

While your palm with the band is facing up, with your opposite hand, run your index finger under the inside band and grab the outside band.

Pull the Outside Band

Now that you've grabbed the outside band, pull it under the inside band towards your palm. This should create a loop around your index finger and a loop around your thumb.

Rotate Your Wrist

While holding onto the band, flip the opposite hand upside down.

You Liked It, So Put a Ring on It

Place the resulting loop onto your ring finger of the hand you started with.

Grab the Outside Triangle

Now grab the outside of the triangle and pull it towards the center of your body.

Down and Up

From this position, run your finger under the band stretched from your thumb to your ring finger and back up.

Grab and Pull

From here, grab the outside part of the loop on your index finger and pull.

Place on Pinky

Pull that band and place it on your pinky. You should see that you have created a diamond within those four points.

Pull the Diamond

Now pull the side of the diamond that is closest to your index finger up and around your middle finger.
