Cat's Cradle, Owl's Eyes: A Book of String Games

This is the first book of string games by this author I believe. Basic setups and simple games are explained very clearly. I already have two followup books and am looking forward to more complex games. I can make up my own stories to go along with the string figures. So much fun and different.

Using at school with fourth graders. They love it. Easy to follow instructions with pictures

String games can be difficult to illustrate, but this book does a good job at explaining and illustrating how to make the string figures. Also, it includes short histories about which cultures the string games originated in.

Even tho the cover looked different, the book was still great. Easy directions with great diagrams I wld recommend this book for all ages

My grand daughter loved this book. It will keep her busy for a long time..

This was bought for my granddaughters for something to do when they claim they are bored. I am sure they will love it.

Great resource in our school efforts to bring back some old time childrens activities and reduce Screen Time.....

My son and daughter and I love the book, fun with a string.

My mom first bought this book when I and my siblings were quite young. We would use it to pass time in restaurants, receptions, long car rides, etc. It is a fun, quiet way to keep kids occupied. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I can still do a lot of the patterns from memory. All you need is a bit of string and you are set!

Love this book. I had it as a child and all the way until a year ago when a work colleague borrowed it and never returned it. Easy steps to follow, but wish there was more.
