Remember playing Cat's Cradle when you were little? I do! With my Grandma!
String games are one of the oldest games in human history, involving creating various string figures, either individually or by passing a loop of string back and forth between two or more players. Games can range from simple to complex, so practice and patience are required! Many parents carry string games along on trips, to restaurants, and visits with relatives as a way to pass the time and share tricks with their children.

So much fun!
My six year old son is in love with his strong game. I had no idea what a huge hit it would be. Such a wonderful, simple toy. Thank you!
United StatesNot rainbow!
The string game seems to be good quality (it’s for a gift and hasn’t been opened yet) but I was disappointed because there were only a few muddied colors and the overall appearance is brownish green, not rainbow!

United StatesToo Long to teach little hands
I loved these games as a child and since my son struggles with right side coordination and weakness due to strokes, I thought these would be a fun therapy activity. Pros: the string is soft and a perfect thickness. Cons: it is adult length. For two adults to play this works great. However for little hands it’s really too long. It is too hard to keep the tension when trying to pass it back and forth or trying to learn solo shapes. Suggestion: make two lengths available
