The Girl Mechanic: Classic Crafts, Games and Toys to Build

Make way for classic girl power! 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.

Featuring choice ideas for crafts, toys, furniture, sports, and games, with standout items including doll houses (one has an actual working elevator!), jewelry boxes, picture frames, playhouses, and Christmas cards.

Some activities a child can do alone, others require a parent's help, but all of them offer a charming glimpse at the handy world of our past - and give girls essential knowledge that will last a lifetime.
