Good for both beginning and seasoned string-gamers alike, this book comes with easy-to-follow diagrams and stories. Two colorful strings included. $25
The fact that the creative work happens through the medium of the string allows errors to be easily redeemed. The child who, in the classroom, struggles to produce neatly-spaced and aligned written work can revel in the beauty achieved through the dance of their fingers. Corrections here do not appear as messy smudges but as perfected accomplishments.
