The site is laid out very well, making it easy to find what you are looking for … including a place to start!
My favorite page is the Complete Knot List. With this bookmarked, you won’t get lost. Knots can also be accessed by activity or type. Other favorites include the knot of the day on the front page and a basic knots page for beginners.
Check out the safety information before beginning. If you decide to have your child keep a notebook, you’ll find the Terminology page helpful. And if you are just beginning, you’ll appreciate knowing what type of rope to use.
AnimatedKnots.com is a great visual way to learn the art of knot tying. And a great summer fun activity!
