Photograph it. You may have a chance to guilt her into household chores when she is older. In the mean time, next time it happens, resign yourself to wrapping the rubber bands tighter when she's not looking. :-)
Me, in a similar situation: I was working on the computer about a year back and realized at some point that my son had been in the bathroom for about an hour -- so I got up to look. The sink was filled to the rim with water, and half his Matchbox collection were parked nose to tail on the counter -- the other half were in the "underwater lot," because, as my son pointed out (correctly), there was no room left for them to park in the regular lot.
Me: Darling, you do know that these weren't meant to go in the water, don't you? Son: But Mom, if they can't go in the water, how do they go through the car wash?

I decided not to argue the logic of that.
