The Jolly Book of Boxcraft

A hands-on manual for creating an entire toy town and many playthings from cardboard boxes, offering materials lists, step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and photographic illustrations. Organized as a series of projects—cottages, shop, school, church, railway station, hotel, farm buildings, boats, wagons, animal enclosures, dolls’ furniture, games, and more—it guides children through cutting, assembling, decorating, and furnishing each model. Additional patterns, construction tips, and simple games encourage imaginative play, resourcefulness, and cooperative building, while emphasizing reuse of everyday materials.
