Toy Craft

A practical handbook that teaches children and manual-training instructors how to make a wide range of wooden toys and small furnishings through clear, illustrated step-by-step directions. It covers essential shop practice — tools and equipment, layout and transferring patterns, jointing, finishing, staining, and simple tool sharpening — then presents graded projects such as wooden animals, doll furniture, carts, games, sleds, windmills, and wheeled toys. Emphasis is placed on adapting problems to ability, fostering constructive habits, and encouraging children to craft and repair their own playthings for learning and service to others.
