First published in 1972, Steven Caney's classic Toy Book was written only after much research by the author and a group of 30 friends, all under the age of 13. A designer at the Boston Children's... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Very good book that teaches kids and parents how to make toys that are fun and creative. From the tire swing to the home made barrometer instructions are easy and educational. My kids didn't stop when the book was totally consumed. They began making their own toys and performing their own experiments.
A favorite childhood book

I remember spending hours with this book-creating the toys and games it described. Wonderfully creative and down to earth in a time of too much plastic and passive activity. Great suggestions for making new toys and games out of found objects and household "throw-aways". This review is based on the original issue. Great for those of us who watched Zoom as kids.
