"Advanced Toy Making for Schools" by David M. Mitchell is a practical manual on the art of toy making, published in the early 20th century. This instructional book is aimed at educators and students engaged in manual arts programs, emphasizing the educational value of toy making. It provides a comprehensive overview of techniques and processes in the crafting of toys, integrating principles of shop organization and production methods that mirror industrial practices. The book is structured into two main parts: the first focuses on operational aspects of toy making, including shop organization, coloring techniques, materials used, and machine operations. It guides educators on how to implement productive work methods in classrooms, encouraging group projects that offer marketable value. The second part contains drawings and plans for various toys, ranging from simple games like "Fox and Geese" to complex projects like dollhouses. Mitchell's work not only teaches the technical skills necessary for toy making but also fosters creativity and problem-solving, making it an essential resource for manual arts education.
