String Games

Everyone loves Cat's Cradle, but that's only one of many string games--and these come from a variety of cultures and countries around the world. Some are great for a single child, others are fun for a group, and all are photographed in close-ups that capture the hands in motion.

Get started with simple figures like Jacob's Ladder and move on to A Fishing Net from Sierra Leone or a Butterfly from the Navajo.

Each game includes information on the level and the loop length you'll need.
