Lina and Adelia Beard show children how to turn wild flowers, garden blooms, leaves and seeds into dolls, ornaments and playthings: daisy chains and designs, jack-in-the-pulpit figures, clover patterns, pussy-willow animals and dancing daffodils. A transcriber’s note rightly warns that some plants, such as foxglove, are poisonous.

A charming craft book for families who want to play outdoors, best used with an adult’s eye on the plants. Download the free EPUB.
