I am a Music Together center director. I use the stretchy band twice every semester with 0-6 year olds and their caregivers. Everyone has a fantastic time and I am still coming up with new ways to use it after having it for two years. I also use it in day cares and preschools with 12-30 kids. Now that i discovered they give replacement bands at a reduced cost I am even more siked.

I contacted Janet about donating this band to a school I volunteer with in Guatemala. She very generously sent it overnight so I could have it before I left. Off it went to be to used in a school and community library program in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala. It was put to use immediately. The teachers, parents and children loved it! As a former Music Together teacher I have used a lot of classroom props, and give this one high props. It is well sewn, sturdy and put together. It was used for music classes, yoga and circle activities. Thank you so much for your generosity! Gracias. Thank You. Maltiox.

Hi Deb! Thanks for the comment. You can see how to clean your stretchy band in this post: https://musicandmovementproducts.com/can-wash-stretchy-band/ I would also be curious what size stretchy band you use and how many participants? Always helps others to know.

I use one of these in my Music Together classes. Kids and parents love the different ways we use it to move to the music, and it’s neat to see the kids really loving the tension in the band. Littles also like to mouth the fabric (I need to find cleaning instructions for it, come to think of it). Definitely a tool I use often!

I use a stretchy band regularly with children that attend storytime programs at our library. It is always a huge hit! It’s a fun way for preschoolers to enjoy music, experience rhythm, work together, and get out some wiggles.

The stretchy band is great! It’s so colorful and high quality. Everyone that works with young children or groups of older adults needs one of these! They are useful for so many things, and unlike parachutes, you don’t have to be positioned in a perfect circle to use them. I’m hoping to be able to purchase an extra large one this fall to use with my nursing home groups.

From our 2nd stretchy band giveaway winner!
“Thank you so much Janet, I’ve been wanting to purchase one for some time and just didn’t have the funds. This is such an amazing product, fun and beautifully crafted, and my clients (old and young) can’t get enough of it. I’ve made entire group exercise sessions based around the stretchy band, and it always makes me so happy to see what people can do when they join together to achieve their goals. My kids also benefit so much from the cooperative experience and from creatively thinking of new ways to use it. I promise to share the love, as it will get tons of use and be shared with lots and lots of incredible people. Thank you!!” Ellen K. de Havilland, MT-BC

“Received my stretchy band today – I absolutely LOVE it! I can’t wait to use it in my classes, especially the ones where I have a lot of folks who are wheelchair-bound. Thank you very much – the discount enabled me to obtain what was out of my reach before, and MANY people are going to benefit from your generosity!” post from Karen Ephyria
