Make These Toys: 101 Clever Creations Using Everyday Items (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780399535918)

An ingeniously simple and fully-illustrated book for crafting toys from objects found around the house.

This clever guide focuses on fun, homemade projects using materials anyone can find around the house or that can be purchased for a fraction of what a commercially-produced toy can cost. Using everyday objects from cardboard tubing to paper to clothespins, readers will discover how to make such projects as:

- A milk carton balloon boat

- A rubber band banjo

- A cardboard tube kaleidoscope

- An embroidery hoop tambourine

- And more

Perfect for parents and teachers, these projects enable families to spend less while keeping entertained. Because fun doesn't always have to come in a box-sometimes, it's the box itself.
