A practical, hands-on plan for elementary manual training.
This book lays out a comprehensive craft curriculum that can be adapted to local resources and needs. It covers a wide range of activities—from clay plaques and plaster casting to leather work, reed basketry, and paper-based projects like portfolios and lanterns. The approach emphasizes real work done when teachers are prepared and time permits, with an eye toward making learning useful for home and community life.
The material is organized to connect classroom activities with broader educational goals. It explains how to structure projects, record effort and materials, and involve students in cooperative tasks such as making agricultural tools or birdhouses. The book also describes drawing, measurement, and design work, and it includes a detailed progression from basic toy construction to more complex projects. Throughout, it ties practical making to study in science, math, art, and vocational information, helping pupils see the value of hands-on learning.- Concrete, grade-appropriate projects: toy making, woodwork, painting, and simple leather or basketry tasks that build fine motor skills and practical knowledge.
- Step-by-step instructions for planning, sketching, wiring in materials, and finishing objects with appropriate tools and finishes.
- Methods for recording time, materials, cost, and the value of work to school and home projects.
- Guidance on drawings, proportions, and the application of basic design principles to real objects.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
