Title: Modern Day Toy Plans
Post by: Gordo on July 06, 2010, 06:20:23 am

I belong to a group who make toys for Christmas and wonder if anyone has recommendations of books that contain Modern Day Toy Plans?  It is difficult to find plans suitable for young girls!

Thanks

The 2 books I have are:

"Tremendous Toy Trucks" by Less Neufeld

"Making Heirloom Toys" by Jim Makowicki

When I started looking for toy pattern books, I did a Google search and checked Amazon.com.  Barnes & Noble and other book stores should have some, along with any kind of hobby web-site or hobby store in you area.

Toys for girls shouldn't be to hard to find...but will take a little time searching.

Check these sites:
