Toy-Making at Home: How to Make a Hundred Toys from Odds and Ends

A practical handbook explains how to transform commonplace household odds and ends — cotton reels, matchboxes, tin cans, egg shells, corks, and scraps of wood — into more than a hundred toys, games, and working models. It supplies step-by-step instructions, simple diagrams, and practical glue and material advice for projects ranging from paper windmills, colour wheels, and counting tops to tents, toy armour, boats, windmills, and miniature steam engines. Emphasis is placed on low cost, accessibility, and educational amusement for children and handicraft instructors.
