Easy-To-Make Old-Fashioned Toys

This book is really cool! It tells how to make a lot of stuff that kids love, out of simple things you have around the house. Many of them just need paper and scissors; patterns are included but you need to trace them. Scanning them and enlarging would work better but it's hard to lay the book flat enough to get a good copy. I hope if it ever gets reprinted they do so in a spiral-bound form! My son's favorite is the helicopter-parachute made from two strips of paper. You can make it in a jiffy and it works quite well.
