About This Book

A practical craft manual for children and supervising adults gives step-by-step instructions for turning discarded boxes into toy furniture, covering materials, tools, measuring, scoring, cutting and fastening with brass fasteners, plus safety tips. It presents illustrated, proportioned patterns and detailed construction for room-by-room pieces—parlor, bedroom, dining room, kitchen and hall—including beds, tables, chairs, stoves, pianos and storage units—along with variations, decorative finishes and assembly details. Introductory notes suggest suitable box sizes, ways to adapt designs, age-appropriate tasks, and community uses such as gifts, club projects or hospital donations, encouraging creativity and practical skill development.

PIANO BENCH.

You might find a small box just the right size and shape. Turn it bottom up and cut the legs.

You might have to cut ends from the box and cover of a candy box, and fasten them together as shown in the picture.

PLAYING THE PIANO.

Before the piano, not too far away,

Place the bench so dolly may sit there to play;

In order that she may do this with ease,

Place her hands so that lightly they rest on the keys.
