Needed rubber bands to complete the end of year folder reviews for my preschool special needs students. These rubber bands were perfect for the job. Strong enough to fold to folders together but also easy enough to pull around the folders without snapping my fingers. I left them in the folder room so that the other teachers could use them for their folder reviews. I will buy them again for the next school year because there is always a use for good strong rubber bands that have not been around so long that they break when you try to use them.
