In today's high tech world, people have completely forgotten how to make The Cup and Saucer, The Witch's Broom, and Jacob's Ladder. Thank goodness for Cat's Cradle. This book's simple instructions and ultra-clear instructional art are foolproof.

A lot of neat things to do with a loop of string. It does require a partner for some, which annoyed me a bit as a only child. But the one person ones were really neat. (

A cute book about the string games for children. I remember playing this game when I was a kid and wanted to share it with my children. (
