Review: 10-year-old w/ADHD loves it! - My 10 year old recently got into the basic Cat's Cradle and I bought this book for his 10th birthday this summer. He loves it! The really complicated ones can be tough to follow in the book, but he's been able to figure them all out (except one he had to look up how to do on youtube). The two strings that come with it are longer than your typical Cat's Cradle string, which is necessary for some of the more complicated configurations. As a side note, my son has anxiety and ADHD and this has been an incredibly soothing past time for him. He'll repeat his favorites when he's anxious or bored.
Review: Best choice - I used to love doing finger strings. It came with two strings but i know things get lost, i want a few at my house and i needed enough for all of the littles. This book had the best pics and easiest instructions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daughter loved this
*by A***. on July 6, 2025*

A nice cats cradle book. My 9 year old saw it and begged for it so we got it for her and she couldn’t be happier. Some were difficult for her to learn but overall it was worth the purchase.
