Excerpt from Lady Hollyhock and Her Friends: A Book of Nature Dolls and OthersChildren throw aside as uninteresting the finished toys from the shops when they have once learned to make playthings for, themselves. To an imaginative child the possibilities of green things growing, of other materials provided by the changing seasons, and of the apparently useless trifles to be found in any home, are endless, and far surpass in permanent interest the realm of mag1c. In giving tangible form to the creatures imagined, thought is ripened into action and childhood's natural desire for ex' pressed imagery satisfied.In making use of these apparently inappropriate materials in the construction of their own toys resource, fulness is engendered, practical intelligence stimulated, the inventive faculty cultivated, sympathetic acquaintance with nature broadened, and manual dexterity increased - all of which will lateri in life prove of ines'timable value.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
