Description
"In the good old days, before the era of ecology and recycling, kids knew how to make scooters out of orange crates, puppets out of old newspapers, and walkie-talkies out of tin cans. Nowadays we buy shiny bikes, talking dolls, and educational toys for our children and worry about the amount of trash we throw away every day. Here at last is a book than can correct this absurd state of affairs. Written in the simplest terms and requiring only the simplest tools and methods, these child-tested instructions for making toys and games out of the most unlikely materials can be understood and utilized by children of all ages - even those who have long forgotten the art of folding paper hats and the rules for kick-the-can. Clearly illustrated and filled with the advice for the sensible conservation techniques, the book by Leonard Todd, a New York architectural designer and writher, is as useful and practical as it is a delight to read." Our goal at Hooked on Resale is to provide the best buying experience on eBay. PLEASE REVIEW ALL PICTURES, for they are a major part of an item's descriptions. PLEASE READ ALL DETAILS THOROUGHLY-- IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! We do our best to describe all our listings as accurately as possible. We would never deliberately mislead a customer with our description of an item! We are not experts, and we sometimes leave out pertinent information that we don't realize is important. Please do not buy if you have the expectation that items are "perfect" or "Like New" unless stated. We try to describe major flaws and add plenty of photos so you can use this to judge the condition! If you have specific questions, please ask us prior to buying! **If you feel we have not described an item correctly please contact us to see if we can come to a fair resolution before leaving negative or neutral feedback. We want nothing more than our customers to be happy with their purchase.** International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
