String Games and String Figures
My daughter and her friends are having fantastic fun doing string games (also known as string figures) which seems to be the latest craze at school. Although I had a vague recollection of performing things like the Cat's Cradle and Jacobs Ladder myself in the school yard I did not feel equipped to deal with the inevitable queries for help. This lens is for all you parents who need to brush up on your skills and any budding enthusiasts.
Below are the best resources I found to set you on your way. Our string has been with us in cars and on planes to a large number of destinations because of its obvious portability attractions. String games/string figures are best suited for kids age 6 and up.
Do you remember playing string fingers when you were a child. I know I do - my mum taught me and I used to love it.
