So had a look at the original elastic and found "The Range " do a pack of 100 for £1 or £1.50 can't remember but they are pretty much the same

You can hear the clips inside the arms rolling about and with a bit of cajoling and patience you can get one end out

Then thread one of the small bands through one end ( make sure you have the arms the right way first !) pull it through and link the other side does a decent job just need a saver for him now!!

If the white clips are broken then an alternative that works is 2 hair clips ( asked my Wife to borrow 2 ha ha)
