Description
My dad always says, "Busy hands are happy hands." Now I know why! When I discovered Cat's Cradle at my cousins' house, I couldn't put it down! Five string manipulation games are presented. It was so much fun I just had to play it until I could do all five by memory. It includes a sturdy, tie-dyed loop of colorful string that's just the right size! Enjoy!

Great stocking stuffer
This brought me back to my childhood. I have it to my 8 year old son for Christmas. He caught on really quick and mastered all the challenges within a week. He and I have had fun doing the game together. Great stocking stuffer.

My daughter (now 11) has enjoyed the Cat's Cradle book and string for the last 4 years I feel that following the steps in the right order and having the shape come out correctly really improves a child's self-confidence and memory skills My daughter easily memorized all of the cat's cradle manipulations in a short period of time and "wowed" our relatives This is a fun interesting way to use your hands and your mind We highly recommend it
