1.0 out of 5 stars
very disappointed,
By
This review is from: Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games (Paperback)
I was very disappointed with this book. It was more games than toys. They offered very few instructions on how to make the few toys that were presented. The games were not ones to box and share but of ideas of activities to do. My goal was to keep the traditions going by making toys and games to share with others and this was not the book for me.
4.0 out of 5 stars
great resource,

I haven't read the whole book yet, but it looks like it will be a valuable resource for my classes at the museum center.

This review is from: Foxfire Book of Appalachian Toys and Games (Paperback)
I bought this book for ideas of games and toys for our summer Heritage Camps. Unfortunately, most toys from many years ago were made of wood. So either the parent had to construct the toy or the children were allowed access to knives and other woodworking tools to make their own. Obviously, that can't be done today.
The games are wonderful and timeless. What a way to get the children out of the house, into the sunshine, and moving!!! One particular parlor game is really funny. It's meant to be played by preteens/teens. The young ladies ask a young gentleman to sit on a stool and look through the sleeve of a coat to see the moon. Once he's in place, they pour a pitcher of water down the sleeve. That's something my sisters and I would have enjoyed when we were young. (It's mean, I know.)
