"Toy-Making at Home" by Morley Adams has been compiled with the assistance of Mr. Walter Higgins, the well-known instructor in woodwork. The volume fulfills a long-felt want in that it supplies fascinating amusement for evenings at home. The making of toys is an engrossing pastime, and the homemade toy is invariably more novel than the shop-bought article and of superior quality, besides which there is always satisfaction in "I made it myself." The purpose of the book is to give simple and easily understood instructions and plain diagrams and sketches for making toys from the odds and ends that are usually discarded as useless. Matches, Match Boxes, Cotton Reels, Cocoa Tins, Cigar Boxes, and even Egg Shells comprise the materials from which are evolved Shops, Working Models, Dolls' Furniture, Boats, Steam Engines, Windmills, and scores of other toys dear to the hearts of boys and girls.
