## Description

Cat's Cradle (Klutz): A Book of String Figures : Anne Akers Johnson, Sara Boore: desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: I especially liked the fact that the book is spiral bound - I bought this as a gift for an 11 year old and she has had hours of amusement from it. The diagrams are really clear and colourful. I especially liked the fact that the book is spiral bound, so you can open to a page and it will stay there without closing again. This useful when your hands are occupied with the string! The included string is good quality and still going strong after many months - no fraying at all. I would definitely recommend this book; it’s a good, old fashioned pastime.
Review: Hours of fun. - Had this as a child and loved it so thought I’d buy it for my friends daughters for Christmas, fantastic book with coloured coded string making the directions so easy to follow. Will give hours of fun and such a good price point for a token gift.

I purchase this for my four children who absolulty loved it! I myself used to attempt this as a child with my sister using a piece of string and it brought hours of fun. The book comes with its own colourful string, highly illustrative descriptions that are easy to follow and the quality is great.
