Impress the little darlings and knock up one of these fancy designs!

My cousins are all into them.Our pound shop sells them and I'm informed thats the most you want to pay for some lengths of plastic string type things.

Have a look in the Freebies board for an ebook that one kind MSE user will email you.

Just laid eyes on my first scoobies yesterday in Tesco, 97p for a packet.

I picked it up, thought about my 14 year old then put it back down. Been suffering from sinus problems for the past fortnight and fighting with a 14 year old over bits of plastic are not top priority at the moment

How many do you get for your £ in the pound shop. I've seen them at 35 for £1 on the market. Ds1's school crazes are back onto Crazy bones again - and I still haven't finished giving him the Yu-Gi-Oh cards I bought off ebay!

Similar, but quite distinct. I was doing both French knitting and scooby-doos "when I were a lass!"

I surely can't be the only one who used to do this as a kid - I must be old !!!!!

my kids convinced me to get them some scoobies me, husband and two friends did not have a clue as to what to do with them, took them round to my parents who happily told me they had loads of fun doing scoobies as kids, as for me ive never seen them before and still have not managed to make a scoobie, we have placed them at the back of the cupboard, bit mean i know but better than kids laughing at us for not being able to make a scoobie!
