Great gift!
These books by Klutz are the best ever!I got this for an 8-year girl and she loved it.I want to play with her; it will surely bring back memories of childhood.

Love the Chinese Jump Rope
Loved this as a child.My 7 yr. old came home from school with some yarn.They were learning cat's cradle at school.Looked high and low for a Chinese Jump Rope.Finally found this one along with a great book with some other ideas that I had not seen before.Love the Chinese Jump Rope.

Great Gift for young girls
This is a great gift for young girls.Not a game that is well known today but was popular when I was young.My neighbor's little girl has had a blast playing this and has shared it with her friends at school.

Gift for granddaughter
I bought the Chinese jump rope as a birthday gift for my 8 year old granddaughter.It was a suggestion from her Mom.She wanted to try it out right away.She followed the instructions that came with the jump rope and really got into trying the different ways to use it.
I was pleased with the purchase.

Good Old Stuff
I searched for months to figure out a gift for my neighbor's daughter.I wanted to get her something she could do that was not in front of a computer yet did not cost an "arm and a leg".This book is good.You get both the rules and the equipment.You need 3 players or 2 and a stable chair (or something like that).She REALLY likes it.I purchased a second one so that she was able to give it as a gift to her friend.Now; these two girls are teaching others in the neighborhood how to play this age old game.

I used to raid my Mom's 'sewing box' for 6 feet of elastic to play this game in the 60's.Very cool choice for girls in the 7 to 10 age range. ... Read more
