Description

Originally published in 1945 by the Popular Science Publishing Company, this book harkens back to a simpler time before cell phones and apps overwhelmed our lives and kids were able to roam freely and make their own adventurous amusements. More than 200 activities, which are quite suitable for girls as well as boys, include pastimes for both indoors and outside.
Hundreds of helpful diagrams and drawings explain how to perform fascinating science experiments and magic tricks and make such do-it-yourself projects as model airplanes that really fly, unusual radios, a soap-box racer, and more. Kids can learn how to use simple tools to make gifts and get creative with common household items like paper, cardboard, and old tin cans. They'll also discover tips for swimming, diving, camping, and biking in addition to a wealth of puzzles and other diverting activities.
