Making Toys That Teach by Les Neufeld
The difference between a good toy and great one is the ability to entertain--and instruct--a child at the same time. The author, a woodworker with a graduate degree in Curriculum and Instructional Materials, combines his skills to show parents which toys are most effective for early childhood education, and then he gives them all the information they need to build those toys themselves. Nine fun projects--from Pattern Blocks and Dominos to a Puzzle Train--will get little ones learning--without them even realizing itLes Neufeld has been a passionate woodworker since he was a child. He began his career as a machinist and later earned a master's degree in education after receiving early training in the forestry and lumber industries. At the British Columbia Institute of Technology, he studied woodworking and design. Les lives in Quesnel, British Columbia, and is the author of Incredible Toy Trucks (Taunton Publishing, 2001) and Creating Toys that Educate (Taunton Press, 2003).
