Fully illustrated with colour photographs and artworks, this book contains designs for useful, practical furniture and playthings to make for your children, and tips for decorating and furnishing children's rooms.

They include storage items, a baby's crib, a classic doll's house, a puppet theatre and a climbing frame, and each project is approved by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
