Climbing Bear Toy

thingiverse

I had a wooden toy from my childhood that I wanted to give to my son, so I searched for designs and found an instructable on rope-climbing bear at http://www.instructables.com/id/Antique-Toys-Rope-Climbing-Bear/. The design was created in Google Sketchup, but the first version had thinner handholds. To make it, attach two lengths of #18 string to your desired length with loops at each end for handles and a short section to connect to a ceiling hook. For better performance, use coarse white string instead of slick polyester.
