Making New Testament Toys
Margaret Hutchings
Hardcover
(Taplinger Pub Co, Nov. 1, 1972)
Illustrated throughout with two-color drawings and color photographs, which impart a lively charm, "Making New Testament Toys" shows children how to make dozens of familiar New Testament figures out of inexpensive everyday materials. As one might expect, the Nativity is a prominent subject, and children will also enjoy making a splendid wolf in sheep’s clothing, a brawny Roman soldier, a Good Samaritan, plus a variety of other biblical people, animals, and scenes. Teachers and parents will especially welcome the broad range of craft techniques employed. Children will enjoy making their own New Testament toys for exhibits or holiday decoration. This is the joyous successor to Margaret Hutchings’ much-praised book, “Making Old Testament Toys.”
