String Telephones, Communicating Through A String

If you cut a hole through two paper cups and attach them by a string, you can create a “string telephone”! Can you recall how you became completely immersed by turning such a simple toy into a telephone? You get so excited when speaking to someone using a string telephone, trying to predict how they would hear your voice. The fine string that changes the way the vibrations of your voice are transmitted to the other person makes this toy feel kind of romantic.

Today, we feature illustrations of secretive conversations made on String Telephones. Enjoy!
