Painstakingly clear instructions for five different string figures, charmingly illustrated. Attached to the book is a tie-dyed string loop -- all you need to bring is ten fingers.
Customer Review: Cat's Cradle: A Book of String Figures (Book and String)
Doing the string figures became a fad at my six year old daughter's school, so of course she had to learn to do them. Within a few hours of getting this book she taught herself all five of the included figures, and quickly became facile enough with the process to pick up new one's from her friends. The book definitely exceeded my expectations.
Customer Review: My daughter is a happy camper
While I can't follow the simplest of written directions, apparently, my 10 year old daughter can. She sat down with the book an the string and within minutes, was showing me all sorts of different cats cradles, including a very complicated looking Jacob's Ladder. My only wish is that they would include more than one string for the cat's cradle as well, it's a kids book, and kids lose things :)
