Learning Cat’s Cradle

With the end of winter we’ve come out of hibernation and have drastically reduced our screen time. One of the things I want to do with the kids this summer is teach them all kinds of old school games – hopscotch, jacks, skipping games, etc.

Yesterday morning I set out to teach the kids cat’s cradle, it’s amazing how something you haven’t done for 20 years can come back so quickly. I was surprised to find that Ephraim was the child that was the most interested in it and we ended up playing for about 20 minutes.

I did need to use a video to refresh my memory on the subject, if you are interested here are the ones we used: Cat’s Cradle with Friends and Solo Cat’s Cradle.
