Australian Wooden Toys

Download or read book Australian Wooden Toys written by Claire R. Schofield and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All of the toys in this book represent Australian animals, and all of them move in some fashion. As their movements are realistic and suggestive of each animal, they all qualify as puppets. Claire Schofield's designs use mechanisms ranging from her own inventions and adaptations, to mechanisms that have survived hundreds (if not thousands) of years. She provides step-by-step instructions, along with detailed drawings and photographs. The 20 projects are arranged from a “beginner” level through to “really tricky” projects that will challenge any toy enthusiast.
