Fun activity for kids.
The instructions can be hard to follow sometimes, but it is still a fun activity to do with kiddos. I use this often when working on building frustration tolerance and perseverance, the kids are always so proud of themselves when they finally get the hang of it all by themselves. But I have to teach it because they can’t make sense of it by following the instructions in the book. However, I do understand how it would be hard to give *great* instructions via print.

Bring the memories to the younger generations!
My daughter loves this. It brings back memories when I was a child and my mom taught me how to do the cats cradle , tea cup and saucer, crows feet (mentions as witches broom in the book), and Jacob’s ladder. It had a lot of activities with different levels of activity. Jacob’s ladder has the most steps. Great for use with friends also!

90s throwback, huge hit!
When my daughter, aged 10, asked about cats cradle I immediately thought of this book from my childhood. How funny that I found the same exact one 20+ years later! Same. Exact. Book! She was so excited when we got it and though I was skeptical (she’s heavily into video games) she immediately loved this game and was so eager to learn all of the combinations? Configurations? I don’t know what you’d call them, but she mastered even Jacob’s ladder within a couple of days, and then worked to perfect her technique and speed. The only downside is that she got through them so quickly, but I’m sure if she’s anything like me she will keep the book for reference as she continues to play with the string. Great fidget, I was blown away it kept her attention all day for multiple days!

So much fun
Bought this for my daughter for Christmas, and we both had so much fun with it! We did all the hand plays that were in the book multiple times, and I taught her cats cradle that I played with friends as a kid. 10/10 recommend

I especially liked the fact that the book is spiral bound
I bought this as a gift for an 11 year old and she has had hours of amusement from it. The diagrams are really clear and colourful. I especially liked the fact that the book is spiral bound, so you can open to a page and it will stay there without closing again. This useful when your hands are occupied with the string! The included string is good quality and still going strong after many months - no fraying at all. I would definitely recommend this book; it’s a good, old fashioned pastime.
