Rubber band

Are you familiar with stretchy things like balloons and clay? Rubber bands are also stretchy things like those! But what makes rubber bands special is that they're made from a material called rubber. Do you remember those squishy erasers you use at school? Well, those are also made from rubber!

Rubber bands are formed into little loops that you can stretch out with your hands. When you let go, they bounce back to their original shape! This is because rubber is very stretchy and has a special property called elasticity, which means it can stretch and then go back to the way it was before.

We use rubber bands for all sorts of things, like holding papers together or keeping our hair in place. They come in many different sizes and colors, and they're very handy to have around. But be careful not to stretch them too much, or they might break!
