Here is an exciting assortment of vintage wooden toy projects that hearken to bygone eras, perfect for creating gifts for your children and grandchildren that will become family heirlooms or to sell online or at your local crafts fair. Drawing primarily from Victorian and Edwardian eras, each wonderful toy project offers step-by-step instructions, cutting lists, wood recommendations, and techniques such as jigmaking and turning spheres and cylinders. In these 15 projects, crafters will find age-appropriate toys for toddlers to teens, including a diavolo for juggling, a yo-yo, toy soldiers and mice, colorful stacking discs, spinning tops, and bowling pins.

Variations for each project allow crafters to personalize each toy, and a brief history of how and where the toy was used provides added value and interest.

If you're a woodturner enthusiast, you'll appreciate that each project comes complete with drawings and photos from both the construction and the completed toy stages.
