Written for the crafty kids at Sarah's Science Camp

lyrics

Here's a fun thing to do when you go to camp
You can make a keychain, or a pull for a lamp
You take your 2 favorite colors of lanyard floss
Fold the strings in half, and make a cross

You go loop loop, over under, over under
Loop loop over under, over under
Loop loop over under, over under
And then you pull it tight

When you get real good, add a string or 2
You can even make it twist, here's what you do:
Just slant the strings off toward one edge
Then you weave and you weave till it's time for bed

You go loop loop, over under, over under
Loop loop over under, over under
Loop loop over under, over under
And then you pull it tight

3 strings.... 4 strings....

It's a tiny checkerboard that grows and grows
If you practice enough, you can do it with your toes
In the summer, in the fall
Keep your fingers busy any time at all

You go loop loop, over under, over under
Loop loop over under, over under
Loop loop over under, over under
And then you pull it tight
Don't forget to pull it tight!
