Whacky Toys, Whirligigs & Whatchamacallits

Rodney Frost
Wow! Everything moves on these delightful toys, whirligigs, and whatchamacallits. Fun to build and more fun to demonstrate, as straight pulleys trigger eyes and eyebrows to rotate and a crank makes the jaw go up and down.

Make wild and witty figures and contraptions that will appeal to the child in everyone. The plans are clearly illustrated, often in several colors that highlight the order of assembly. A must gift for Grandpa!
