This friendly little toy is super fun to make and a great gift for little kids. The dozen colored rings can be slid on and off the i-cord string at will, so the child can play with the endless color combinations. The soft handle allows them to pull their toy around the house, while the end ball keeps the rings from falling off.
The pattern includes photo tutorials for the assembly of the rings and construction of the i-cord, along with instructions for lengthening the string to accommodate more rings.
