I attended some workshops this past weekend and this product was demonstrated to us. It looks like a bunch of fun, as another way to get kids to play cooperatively. It's got a heavy duty stretchy cord inside and I'm thinking there's got to be a cheaper alternative.

Any ideas??

You can buy latex resistance sheets in different lengths they are used in therapy exercises kind of like an elastic band but very wide you could cut some down to more manageable widths and loop together like you join elastic bands like this

Hopefully some others have more suggestions, it looks like a great idea I remember playing a similar game with my brothers when we were younger using our skipping elastic - we didn't make shapes but we'd stand in middle and try to make each other fall over ::

Neat! Not for 100 though.

I would attach resistance/weight training bands together, probably even leaving handles attached for a "space" for each child.

They have elastic bands that come in sheets, so you can cut them down to size and just knot. I found this one on amazon for $11.50 for 6 yards. http://www.amazon.com/Thera-Band-6-Y...=therapy+bands

I looked up "therapy bands" on Amazon.

Thanks everybody! I ordered the 6 yd. elastic bands from amazon,(along with a map of the U.S. and some Mo Willems books just to make the 35. minimum for free shipping ). Now to scrounge around in my fabric stash and whip out my sewing machine. Can't wait to try it.

another make it yourself

I am trying to figure out a way to store my sleeping mats without touching each other.
Thinking of using strips of tarp material sewn together at the top so that a mat can slide between each layer.
I do not want a huge cupboard or big cart for 4 to 6 mats.
Any other ideas?
