About This Book

This book presents a collection of craft projects, short sketches, and songs guiding children and caregivers to make dolls, figures, and toy animals from flowers, fruits, seeds, nuts, corn husks, clay, paper, and common household odds and ends. Clear instructions, patterns, jingles, and plentiful illustrations accompany step-by-step plans and brief vignettes that suggest play scenarios. Emphasizing imagination, thrift, and hands-on skill-building, the selections encourage observational acquaintance with plants and seasons while promoting creativity, resourcefulness, and simple domestic arts suitable for young makers.

Pumpkin Pies

NOT all of the pumpkins were used for Jack O’Lanterns, though. Some were given to Mamma to make into delicious pumpkin pies.

Poor little Tom ate too much of the pies, and his greediness made him have frightful dreams and a terrible pain in his stomach.

The verses Cousin Charlotte and the others made about his dream made greedy Tom feel very much ashamed.
