Written for a father’s own children on rainy Saturdays and long vacations, this handbook explains how to make a windmill puppet, a flying whirligig, a homemade book, a jointed snake, puzzles of divided squares, a grimacing face and a working stage with its curtain, along with simple experiments, all tested in the author’s own household.
A nineteenth-century maker’s book for children, fun to browse for ideas and for its period charm. Download the free EPUB.
