There's something for boys of every age and for every day of the year in this book: * Building and flying your own kite * Making an aquarium * Rigging and sailing small boats * Camping without a tent * Making a corn stalk fiddle * Building a snow fort Daniel Beard, a founding member of the Boy Scouts of America, firmly believed in letting boys make their own playthings with their hands, to encourage them to value their own work and gain skills needed to invent, construct and dream successfully. This is truer today than ever before—in a world of video games and cell phones. Welcome the joys of childhood back into your children's lives with The American Boy's Handy Book, and help them discover hobbies, games and activities that will stimulate their imagination and create a sense of adventure in the real world around us.
