Unless you or your students have a latex allergy that requires the use of latex free tubing, we recommend using the regular latex as it has proven to be more durable than the latex free simply because of how it is made. The two product images show the latex vs latex free. The thinner, orange tubing is latex free. The thicker, cream colored tubing is the regular latex.

Here is what each option entails:

Fix Your Own Stretchy Band: 

With this option, you will select what type of tubing you prefer along with the size of your Stretchy Band. You will be charged for the replacement tubing as well as a $10 flat rate shipping fee to have it sent to you (unless you order other Bear Paw Creek products and your order is over $75, which would qualify for free shipping).  The cost of the tubing when selecting the “Fix Your Own Stretchy Band” option is lower than the “Send to Bear Paw Creek Repair Shop” option since you are doing the labor of replacing the tubing. Instructions on how to replace the tubing will be included. If you run into any issues when trying to replace it or need help answering any questions, we are more than happy to help.

Send to Bear Paw Creek Repair Shop: 

With this option, you will select what type of tubing you prefer along with the size of your Stretchy Band.

We will replace the tubing, mail it back to you, and you will be good to go for your next music and movement time.
