Summary "Toy Craft" by Leon H. Baxter is a practical guidebook written in the early 20th century. The book is aimed at children, providing detailed instructions for constructing various toys, such as wooden dolls, carts, and furniture, which they can assemble themselves. Its focus is on fostering creative skills, hands-on craftsmanship, and an appreciation for handmade items over mass-produced toys. The opening of the book provides an introduction and rationale for its content, highlighting the importance of teaching children to create their own toys as a means of instilling both value and constructive ability. Baxter shares insights into the historical context of toy-making, emphasizing how such crafts are beneficial for children's mental growth. Notably, the preface underscores the idea that children are more likely to cherish toys they have made themselves, thus countering destructive habits developed from easily broken, factory-made toys. This foundational perspective sets the stage for the practical instructions that follow, guiding children through the toy-making process with a focus on simple yet engaging projects.
