Summary "Little Folks' Handy Book" by Lina Beard and Adelia B. Beard is a guide to crafting written in the early 20th century. This practical work focuses on a variety of simple handicrafts designed to spark creativity and resourcefulness in children, using easily accessible materials. The authors aim to provide enjoyable and educational activities in crafting toys, furniture, and decorations from everyday items like paper, clothespins, and kindling wood. At the start of the book, the authors introduce the significance of hands-on projects for children, emphasizing the joy and satisfaction derived from creating something oneself. They outline the concept of using simple materials like paper and wooden items to build toys and crafts, thereby promoting self-expression and ingenuity. The practical instructions commence with the making of "paper building cards," leading into various projects, each designed to be accessible and engaging for young learners, with clear guidance on different crafts throughout the chapters.
