About This Book

A compendium of games, pastimes, and simple handcrafts for children, organized by setting and company — indoors and outdoors, alone or in groups, and for parties — with clear rules, diagrams, and how-to instructions for toys, knots, paper crafts, and make-believe. It groups activities by age and occasion, supplies descriptions of rules and variations, and offers practical directions for play, construction, and safety. An alphabetical index and blank appendix allow quick reference and personal additions, and many line illustrations demonstrate equipment, poses, and finished projects.
