The Things a String Can Be

I recently won the book, The Things A String Can Be by Julie Goulis, in a giveaway hosted by Tara at Raising Itty Bitty Bookworms.  The book is about a boy who goes out to play and finds a piece of string in a puddle.  He imagines all of the things a string can be and then makes his own string creation.  The story is fun and there are great ideas for creating with string at the end of the book.

After reading the book, C and R used some cereal and their string to make necklaces.

I should say that C made a necklace;

R did string hers but it never actually became a necklace because she could not resist eating the cereal.

They also had fun creating string art.  R made balloons.  One balloon is made entirely out of string, the others are cereal balloons with string attached.

 C drew himself climbing up a rope (the string) to escape from dinosaurs.  It's hard to see the string, but it's there.  The cereal pieces he glued to the bottom of the page are rocks. 

 I had never heard of this book before the giveaway, but we are certainly happy that we won!
