With an emphasis on safety and adult supervision, this book presents a range of 20 simple and fun projects that children can make and enjoy hours of play with afterwards - projects such as a kazoo, mini furniture, duck call, whimmy diddle, rhythm sticks and elder wand. The author, Richard Irvine, extols the virtues of exploring woodland, getting to know the trees in your local area and learning about their characteristics and suitability for whittling. He provides a thorough guide to the basic tools and equipment that are required, the timber he recommends and would advise against for beginners, and the techniques that will be used in the projects. Following this are twenty projects, with simple step-by-step instructions accompanied by photographs and useful tips. Dotted throughout are interesting nuggets of information about woodland folklore.
