FAQs

What age is this kit suitable for?

This kit is generally best suited for children aged 6 and up, as it requires a degree of fine motor skill.

Does the kit come with instructions for weaving?

The kit focuses on creative expression with materials provided, but we recommend finding basic online tutorials for specific knot-tying patterns.

Are the materials safe for children?

Yes, Janod products are designed with safety in mind, though small parts like beads present a choking hazard and require supervision.

Can I buy more strands separately?

Standard plastic craft lacing is often compatible if you run out of the included strands.

What is the primary material of the strands?

The strands are made from durable craft plastic designed for knotting and weaving.

Troubleshooting

The scoubidou weave keeps coming undone

Ensure that your starting knot is pulled tight. If the weave feels loose, apply consistent tension while pulling each strand.

Strands are getting tangled during use

Uncoil all strands and lay them out separately before starting your project to prevent knots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get started, clear a flat, well-lit surface to prevent losing the smaller beads or stickers. If a child is new to scoubidous, it is recommended to start by watching simple instructional videos online to master the 'starting knot,' as this is the foundation for all designs. The strands are durable, but ensure they are kept away from heat sources to prevent melting or warping. The stationery items should be stored in the included notebook or a dedicated pencil case to keep the set organized. For cleaning, a soft, dry cloth is sufficient for the plastic beads and charms; avoid using harsh chemicals on the notebook paper or sticky pads.
