Toys and Games Summary

Toys and Games: Step-By-Step Instructions for More Than 35 Projects by Jane Harrop

From building blocks and a blackboard in the nursery, skipping ropes and tennis racquets in the garden, and draughts and quoits in the parlour; toys and games are an important part of daily life in a dolls' house. Here are 35 step-by-step, illustrated projects which show, in detail, how to make a variety of toys and games, and ideas are given for further variations. An illustrated section on the basic materials and equipment used offers practical guidance, while the basic techniques, such as working with wood, using glues, and painting and varnishing, are illustrated with step-by-step photographs. Easy-to-use templates and diagrams are provided where necessary, including colour photocopying pages with a selection of pictures and patterns, and inspirational colour photographs show the toys and games being enjoyed in situ.

About Jane Harrop

Jane Harrop started making miniatures as a hobby nine years ago, when she made and demonstrated the projects at her local miniatures group - her enthusiasm turned this hobby into her job. She has been teaching adult education classes for the past five years, and has had articles published in Dolls' House World magazine. Jane sells her work through local miniatures fairs to both collectors and the trade, and is presenting workshops at the 2002 British Miniature weekend fair. This is Jane's first book. Jane is married with two children, and lives in Poynton, Cheshire.
