Cat's Cradle: A Book of String Figures | Anne Akers Johnson

I found this book at Salvation Army for $1 without string. I added 3 pieces of yarn because you need to practice this skill alone and with friends. It was surprising what I remembered. This will be a fun one to put in my Little Free Library. (my almost completed purple rug 💜 makes a pretty background)

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love your rug! Letter coming to you 💛💛 5y

Princess-Kingofkings @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks thank you ~ I love #LitsyLove! ♥️ 5y

TheAromaofBooks I had a similar book with string tricks when I was a kid - I think I can still do cup and saucer haha 5y

Princess-Kingofkings @TheAromaofBooks That was the first one I tried after I got some yarn. 😃☕️ 5y

Cat's Cradle: A Book of String Figures | Anne Akers Johnson

I used to love playing Cat's Cradle. I could make all sorts of figures, now I can barely manage the basic sequence. I should seek out one of these books to teach my sons (and reteach myself!).
