Good idea gone bad

The library is starting its summer reading program. The theme is Super Readerpants or something of the sort, and there's a theme of vintage toys somehow in there. Anyway, someone had the idea to give the kids their packet of info and a reading list and so on with a paddle ball. Well, the paddle ball thing is cheap cr**. DS1's had the elastic slip off before he ever used it. Luckily, I could fix it. DS2's elastic broke, right up next to the ball. I managed to reattach, then it broke even closer, so now I can't do anything else without a better piece of elastic, a sharp needle, and a lot of luck.

Poor little boy is crying in his room.
