I remember making those almost 60 years ago.

Gimp lanyard?

That boy’s got some lips.

The little gremlin is acting out of character. He couldn’t save it for his Daddy or Auntie Nellie? Hmmm, he knows instinctively what they would think of it. So he gets rid of it by giving it to Jarvis. I don’t detect any joy or caring in this experiment.

Awwww. Sedgwick tried and did an activity at camp.

I’ve never heard of a “gimp lanyard” before. Some regional expression?

Next he’ll be joining the Peace Corps.

Look up the origin of the term “boondoggle”…similar concept.

Just double it a couple of times and it will work fine as a necklace.

hey look at that, he has a legitimate talent for something

Amazon knows all, sees all. :)

A fine necklace for Doctor #4.

“Now, I’m going to carve you a whistle out of an oak trunk … It might turn into a canoe.”

Is that the flat plastic-y cord? Kind of fold it over itself fourways?

Oh look. Sedgwick actually learned a skill instead of Jarvis having to do it for him.

Nice to see that kid be creative.

At least its not a noose
