The Girl Mechanic: Classic Crafts, Games and Toys to Build (Boy Mechanics Series)

Classic girl power is finally here! Females of all ages will celebrate the first just-for-girls entry in the Popular Mechanics classic activity series. Like its predecessors, "The Girl Mechanic" presents time-tested projects that build skills, enhance creativity and provide hours of pleasure with great ideas for crafts, toys, furniture, sports and games. The standout items include doll houses (one has an actual working lift!), jewellery boxes, picture frames, playhouses, Christmas cards and so much more. Activities to suit all skill levels give a charming glimpse at the handy world of our past - and give girls essential knowledge that will last a lifetime.

Quirky and nostalgic, these books take a look back at the simpler, good old days with a collection of projects reproduced from early C20th editions of Popular Mechanics' magazine.
