The Child's Rainy Day Book

A practical, do-it-yourself manual for parents, teachers, and older siblings offering clear, illustrated instructions for indoor amusements and crafts suitable for children on rainy days. Chapters present step-by-step projects — simple home-made toys, basket weaving, knots and raffia work, bead crafts, clay modeling, indoor gardening, paper flowers, small gifts, and games for two or three — with materials lists, construction techniques, patterns, and helpful diagrams. The tone is instructive and encouraging, emphasizing imaginative play, resourceful use of household materials, and activities that build manual skill and cooperative play.
