| Publisher Description: This vintage book is a progressive course for the making of simple toys, designed for children. Beginning with very simple projects and working up to more ambitious tasks, this volume is ideal for introducing children to woodworking. A timeless volume never more valuable than today, "The Teacher's Book Of Toy Making" would make for a fantastic addition to any family collection. Contents include: "General Principles", "Scheme of Observation Lessons by Means of Toymaking, with Correlated Songs, Rhymes, etc.", "Groups for Babies", "Groups for the 'Fives'", "Groups for the 'Sixes'", Illustrations", "General Notes", "Descriptions for Groups of Toys Shown in Illustrations", "The Home-rimmed Hall and Christmas Tree", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of toys. |
