Summary "Home Occupations for Boys and Girls" by Bertha Johnston is a practical guidebook aimed at parents, particularly mothers, written in the early 20th century. The book offers a variety of engaging home activities designed to stimulate the creativity and resourcefulness of children using everyday materials commonly found around the house. Topics covered range from crafting toys and decorations to hands-on explorations of nature and household objects, encouraging children to find joy in creativity and learning. The opening of the book establishes its purpose by addressing common parental challenges, such as boredom among children and the need for constructive activities. Johnston emphasizes the importance of nurturing a child's inventive spirit and suggests various DIY projects that utilize scrap materials, household items, and even nature's bounty. Practical examples, like transforming strawberry boxes into toy fences or creating seed markers, illustrate how to turn mundane items into valuable tools for children’s play and learning. The author conveys a philosophy of fostering imagination while promoting skills like observation, resourcefulness, and appreciation for beauty through the creative process.
