Boy's Toys to make Part 1

Today begins the first in a series of Boys Toys and the instructions in how to make them.


As a sample here are the illustrations and directions to make a paper boat. There is another boat, a comic paper mask, a pyramidical hat, a paper box, a fire balloon, parachute, and three kites. If you would like a pdf or word doc of these instructions email me lynn(at)lynncoleman.com and I'll be happy to send you a copy. Just let me know which kind of file you would like.
