Life on a farm has always fascinated youngsters-especially those familiar mainly with city sights and activities. This modestly priced cut-and-assemble book by paper engineer A. G. Smith is an ideal way to introduce young city dwellers and suburbanites to a typical rural homestead.

Designed to provide children, ages 4-10, with hours of stimulating fun and help develop coordination skills, Easy-to-Make Playtime Farm comes complete with an attractive three-story farmhouse, a large barn, chicken coop, toolshed, well, rail fence and assorted self-standing barnyard animals (pigs, cows and sheep).

Easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions and three exploded diagrams show young builders (with perhaps a little help from an adult) how to cut, fold, and assemble the roofs and walls of their very own farm buildings. Completed structures appear in color on the covers.

Original Dover (1988) publication. Instructions. 3 exploded diagrams. 6 full-color plates. 16pp. printed one side only. 9 1/4 x 12 1/4. Paperbound.
