I don't know about you, but I'm a sucker for vintage children's craft books. Though, I always seem to amass more than we could ever possibly craft from. This being one of my faves.
A long day. A short night. Sleep tight everyone, and if you're looking to make ice cream spoon toys or salt-and-starch animals, you know where to find me!

i had this!!
wowsie-what a coincidence-lark and i were just making stuff from mcall's giant golden make-it book-i need this one too!
YEAH.... this must be the swinging 60s version, complete with ranch style paper doll house to make. looks eerily familiar.....
I LOVED this book as a kid. My mom had a copy from her 1950's childhood (along with another called the Make-It book) and I spent hours busy with projects from it. I still have both books and plan to use them when my own daughter is old enough (she's only 2 1/2 and yes, I am obsessively collecting books for her too:)
love it!!!... Love it.... LOVE IT!!!
Nice!
So cool that so many people had it!!!
This is great! My dad passed down a set of books that were labeled things like, "Science Projects for Boys" and "Having Fun with Science" from his 1950's childhood. My siblings and I always used these for our science fairs and experimenting around the house.
This book makes me wish we could roll back time.
I actually have this book in my collection ~ I received it as a birthday gift when I was 6.
I make profit from this book. I used it as a reference in creating unique artworks for children.
