Summary

"Toy-Making in School and Home" by R. K. (Ruby Kathleen) Polkinghorne is a manual from the early 1900s teaching how to make toys. The book shows how to make educational toys at school or at home so that kids can learn how to make their own toys with basic materials. The book starts by talking about why it's important to use your hands in school, saying that making toys can help kids be more patient, creative, and good at using what they have. It has stories from students about how much they like making things and how happy it makes them feel. The authors want kids to value making things by hand, teaching them how to make toys from easy-to-find stuff, and helping them grow in a good way.
