Scrap Crafts - A Toy Colonial Kitchen from 1908

 


From Home Mission Handicraft: Ideas for Work and Play in Mission Bands and Junior Societies, by the indefatigable Lidia and Adelia Beard, authoresses of a half dozen genteel Edwardian craft and hobby books for children. Instructions on page 29 are included for everything you see, including the spinning wheel, to be made out of cardboard, twigs, and an eggshell. 

The entire book may be found at archive dot org.
