Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making Tin Can Toys Tin can toys were invented after a fruitless search of the toy shops for a large tin locomotive. I had a long can in my shop at home that I thought could be very easily worked up into a toy locomotive boiler by adding a few fittings, such as a piece of tin rolled up into the form of a smokestack. Part of a small can could be used for a steam dome, or I could use the top part of a certain tooth-powder can, the distributor top of which would look very much like a whistle. A cocoa tin came in very handy for a cab, and a. thumb-tack box served for a headlight. The wheels were: -made of can lids soldered together, and the toy locomotive was made, much to the joy of my very young son who has had it in constant service for over a year, and it is still good for many trips at the end of a string. I had always used tin cans for making such articles as water motors, glue pots, melting ladles, mooring buoys for model yachts, etc., but the locomotive was the first toy, made wholly from tin cans, that I had produced, and this suggested other toys. The steam roller was next made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paper Toys and How to Make Them The ability to retain a clear mental impression of any known object or to create new forms is of inestimable value. Most children have a natural and healthy tendency to receive and hold new impressions, but inefficient training generally neglects this faculty. An all-round education demands ample opportunity in school and house for creating plastic forms. The mere accumulation of abstract facts is an education decidedly insufficient. Recognizing the important fact that children naturally like to make things, "plastic expression" is being advocated by many teachers and school authorities. But fortunately not everywhere have such occupations been introduced solely for "learning" purposes in the old sense of the word. There is a growing faith in the theory that children should not only be usefully but also happily employed. In fact, the educational value of an occupation depends largely on the joy-stimulating propensities it contains. The most capable teacher can create scarcely more than an artificial interest for certain subjects taught in the schools to-day. The joy-element can, however, on the other hand, be suppressed even in the most fascinating occupation if too great an emphasis is laid on its so-called "educational value;" this is so, for instance, when children are allowed to work only according to set rules.

Download or read book Tin Can Tourists in Florida 1900 1970 written by Nick Wynne and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the arrival of the twentieth century, Americans continued in the pioneering spirit of their forebears and looked upon the automobile as a new way to explore the unknown. Thousands of Americans packed their tents in the backs of their cars and set out to enjoy the back roads of the United States. Carrying extra gasoline in five-gallon cans, plenty of canned food, and extra tires strapped to the fenders, these intrepid souls began an exploration of the North American continent with a thoroughness that put Lewis and Clark to shame. These tourists became the symbol of another "New Generation" of Americans, restless, adventuresome, and filled with boundless curiosity. These were the "Tin Can" tourists. In 1919, the official organization of Tin Can Tourists of the World was formed in Tampa, and the group held two meetings annually until disbanding in 1977. Early on, residents of Florida recognized the potential economic impact of the Tin Canners on the state, and the movement to improve roads and provide accommodations and amusements to these seasonal travelers flourished. By 1930, Florida had built more than 3,000 miles of paved roads, and campsites, roadside motels, and exotic animal parks could be found along most major thoroughfares.
