Experience a beloved early American outdoor pastime with our handcrafted Game of Graces, a classic activity where players send lightweight wooden hoops spinning through the air to be caught on the tips of slender wands. In early years, the game was a favorite of young women, who wrapped hoops with ribbons for elegance and controlled flight. The game was widely popular throughout the 1800s and 1900s, and remains a delightful coordination and agility game today.
Crafted in Vermont Using Traditional Methods
We bend our hoops in our Vermont workshop using the same time-honored steam-bending techniques we employ for our musical instruments. Green lumber from local hardwood trees is shaped into durable, resilient bent-wood parts for long-lasting play.
This set includes:
2 solid bent-wood hoops, 10" diameter
4 solid birch wands, 18" long
4 lengths of colored ribbons for traditional play
Packaged in a clear zipper poly bag
Includes history and instruction poster
