Delight young children and encourage play through unique
handmade toys. From sewn and stuffed musical instruments to
interlocking paper building blocks and wooden animal
figurines, the projects in this book are meant to encourage
open-ended play. Organized by kid-loving subjects, the toys
here follow the themes of Zoo; House; Blocks, Cars & Trucks;
Dress-Up; Music; and Art. Overall, the projects here are
meant to stimulate imagination, build confidence through
success and enjoyment, and enhance the bond between family
and friends through the creation of unique, artistic
handmade toys and crafts. The thirty-five projects in this book include a variety of
crafts, from drawing to sewing and light woodworking. The
toys presented here are made out of wonderfully tactile
materials—repurposed fabrics, wood, and paper—and invite
opportunities for creative and imaginative play. Every
project is easy to complete, made with accessible materials,
and requires little time to make. The projects are simple
enough that endless variation can come from the making of
each, leaving enough room for you to make the item to suit
your own personal interests. With a design aesthetic that is clean, simple, and modern,
each project is presented with full-color photos and
hand-drawn instructional illustrations and templates.

• Portable Zoo Animals
• Abstract Vertical Puzzle
• Wooden Nature Scene
• Bottle-Cap Tambourine
