1600s: Girls play cat's cradle.
United States 1600s: Three girls dressed in Pilgrim-era clothing, including white bonnets, collars, and long dresses, sit together in a rustic wooden structure playing cat's cradle with a loop of string. The frames show the string being passed and manipulated between their hands as they take turns forming different patterns, with the girls watching each other closely and interacting throughout the game.
