Big Ups To Those Who Gave My Kids Slap Bracelets at the Halloween Party (drop your slap tail below)

These were banned from my school but those of us in the ALPS (advanced learning program scholars) used our scholar dollars to order them in bulk from Oriental Trading Company. My first act of intellectual subversive action!

My 6 year old likes them. Fun fact: If you remove the plastic covers they are now all made from old Chinese tape measures.

I had a bunch of slap bracelets in my teal bucket at Trunk or Treat and people were grabbing those before anything else.

These were big the year I broke my wrist, and they were perfect for when the skin under my cast got itchy.

I recently bought some visibility light bands on Amazon that are basically these with an LED in it. They work pretty well.

I'm sure you can. I have them in orange but they also had green, red and blue.

My school never banned them, they just disappeared on their own as stores pulled them and the ones we had broke. I had a few back in elementary school since they always eventually broke (the sharp metal would cut through the covering) and get thrown away. The one I remember most was I had a slap wrap watch (basically a cheap watch on a slap bracelet). I'm guessing they must have eventually solved the safety issue of sharp metal since a few years ago I got one in the swag bag at a triathlon's packet pickup. It was a reflective one designed to be worn when running in low light to help you be seen.
