Thoughtful Crochet Craft Ideas

In UK we call this game Ludo. It has alternative names in other countries. As you might guess Granny’s Ludo is basically made of crochet granny squares. It can be used as an afghan or floor game. It is one from a book of six Afghan Games. These games are surprisingly popular with teenagers as well as with young children. One of our most cherished experiences was at a Maths Festival in July 2000 when a young girl with very limited mobility and co-ordination spent nearly two hours playing on this game with her father and sister. She loved the game because she could sit on it and it was at a scale she could manage. The photos shown, of other people, were taken in a shopping centre in Birmingham.
