| What is the youngest age that you have found can successfully use the plastic looms (and metal crochet hook) to make a weaving with stretchy loops? (I know the product is described as a "potholder" but I prefer it to be a "coaster." It seems just too small in the end to be something you would touch a hot item with!) | ||||
