Making Inventive Wooden Toys: 33 Wild & Wacky Projects Ideal for STEAM Education (Fox Chapel Publishing) Toys Kids & Parents Can Build Together to Explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math

The book size is 7" x 9" and is shown in one of the photos beside another Fox book for comparison. The open book photo has a note: "patterns are not drawn to scale". This means the patterns are >not< full size. The drawing above the note shows a front / top / side view of the part. The photos and illustrations are excellent and show many options and tips for building and finishing and also include tips for products related to building.To get the most from this book you will need some basic drawing/drafting skills however.

I've made a few of these for my grandkids. I appreciate the background to what inspired the creations. It also leaves room for your own creativity.

Works as expected

Great book, quick delivery!

While all the projects were creative, easy to construct and imaginative, I wouldn't recommend a lot of the toys for use by younger children. They would be very easy to misuse, even by accident. Quite a few of the items would be adult desk top toys.

My grandkids love these, the book is well written colourful as well as doable, in a world dominated by plastic now it is wonderful to make these little items with my grandchildren many thanks

Bel libro, pieno di idee interessanti per far lavorare ragazze e ragazze con il legno; la maggior parte dei progetti riguarda congegni per il lancio di oggetti (carta igienica bagnata, tappi di bottiglia, ecc.). A mio parere lo "STEAM" c'entra davvero poco, serve a vendere il libro ...

Irgendwie ganz witzig, aber es ist einfach nichts dabei, was ich nachbauen möchte. Es geht meist darum, irgendetwas durch die Gegend zu schießen o. Ä. Keines der Spielzeuge ist in meinen Augen schön, interessant oder als Geschenk geeignet.
