Toys for Kids - Plans Index

We want you to be aware of some safety precautions before you build any Toys for Kids.  

Do not use very old paint that may contain lead. 
Do not use any wheels smaller than 1 1/2 inch diameter.  (choking)
Do not make any toys that are pulled by a string or rope.  (strangulation)
Make sure that all attached parts are very secure.  (choking)
Do not leave any sharp or pointed edges.

In other words, we want to produce toys that are safe to play with.

It is more efficient to make a hard template rather than using paper patterns if you will be making more than three of a kind toys.

Please keep in mind that we need toys for girls as well as boys.  You can meet this need simply by using different colored paint.

Many of the plans below require you to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer.
