Children's Crafts - a Sweet Potato Baby Alligator from 1918

 


From Mother Nature's Toy Shop by the indefatigable Beard sisters - see page 132 for cutouts to make the head and limbs.  EDITED TO ADD:  If you don't want a sweet potato/alligator hybrid rotting on your shelf, this would probably work with longleaf or Eastern white pine cones.

Kid's Crafts - A Cat to Cut from Card

 


Something to keep the kids occupied inside on a muggy day.  It's from Le Carton Articule and several pages are on Patricia's site. I can't find a date - but I'm guessing 1920's or 30's from the illustrations.
