The string figures your hands still remember.
One red loop on ten paper fingers. Hook a string, lift a loop over the top, spread your palms — and Jacob's Ladder appears, just as it did on the playground. No string needed.

Lay the phone between you and pass the Cradle back and forth: Soldier's Bed, Candles, Manger, Diamonds, Cat's Eye. The picture turns to whoever holds it.
It counts the figure, not the order
Mirror one hand onto the other, or make every move yourself. Tangle it and the string shows it — undo and try again.
- Hook. Drag a finger to a string and let go on it. A switch decides whether it goes over the strings in between or dives under them.
- Over the top. Flick a finger with two loops and the lower one slides over the tip.
- Let go. Double-tap a finger to drop its loops.
- Spread. Pinch outwards and the slack loop goes taut. That is when the figure appears.
