SUGGESTED ORDER<br />
Simple, low-cost, homemade games made from<br />
everyday household items—from the author of<br />
Make These Toys.<br />
Playing games is the perfect antidote for boredom when kids are tired<br />
of their toys—that’s where Play These Games comes in. This collection<br />
presents homemade activities for kids and grown-ups to create and<br />
play together, from Go Fish cards made using family photos to a<br />
pinball machine constructed out of clothespins, rubber bands, and<br />
cardboard boxes.<br />
Following the same format as Make These Toys, this book is organized<br />
by materials, each with a short introduction and quirky facts about the<br />
objects used. Every project will have illustrated step-by-step written<br />
instructions. They’re almost as fun to make as they are to play!<br />
Praise for Make These Toys:<br />
“Dozens of simple how-tos for making magic out of household<br />
materials.” —Martha Stewart Living<br />
“My son, entranced, proclaimed Make These Toys by Heather Swain to<br />
be not merely ‘awesome’ but ‘as smart as 10 brains stuck together’…<br />
The bottom line: A great book for rainy days—and sunny ones.”<br />
—Chicago Tribune<br />
