It is the author’s hope that the industry, perseverance and ingenuity needed to work out the suggestions may help in some small way to lay the foundation upon which big after things may be builded.
TO VERY LITTLE GIRLS AND BOYS.
You can make the furniture easily if your big sister or brother will read the directions to you. You will have great fun looking at the pictures, listening to the rhymes and playing with the furniture.
TO MIDDLE-SIZED GIRLS.
You, also, will enjoy the pictures and rhymes. Of course you will take great pleasure playing with your doll furniture, but, best of all, you can make every bit of it yourself. Just think—you can make it just the size and just the color you wish it; and the rhymes will suggest many delightful little “extras” to make your doll home attractive just as mother makes hers.
TO BIG GIRLS AND MIDDLE-SIZED AND BIG BOYS.
Even though you may not wish to play with the furniture yourself you will thoroughly enjoy making and giving it to some dear little folks of your acquaintance. You will also be getting and giving a great deal of pleasure by helping other little friends make their own furniture.
You will enjoy changing the designs or making other pieces of furniture from your own original ideas. I suggest that you design and make a china closet, sideboard, combination desk and bookcase, four posted bed, wash stand with towel rack, music cabinet, business desk for “father,” rocking chair, circular top table, lamp or shirt-waist box. I’m sure you will think of many more.
