It is not only the child who derives delight from a working toy or finds interest in the arragement and the building up of the models; it is the exerxise of the craftmanship and the ingenuity called for in actually making them that brings an absorbing interest. The examples selected for description in these pages have been chosen mainly beacuse they can be made with simple equipment and call for little expenditure in material.
