What would make a better gift for a boy or girl then a handmade toy? In many cases these toys can be a family project, with the children, depending on their age, doing some assembly and painting. Most of these toy plans require some skills using a scroll saw or saber saw.
Always read the toy plans carefully and make sure that there is enough information provided for you to be able to complete the project - before you invest in materials. Some of the plans are excellent, giving a great deal of instruction in text, pictures and drawings while other plans are only drawings and still others are only sketches.
