KLV Toymaking Booklet    This booklet, dated 1942, is an instructional manual for making toys. Booklets such as this were used in Kinderlandverschickung ("sending the children to the country") camps as part of their instructional classes. The boys and girls in the camps, ages 10 to 14, would produce the toys and learn lessons about woodworking in the process, and the toys themselves eventually were sold or given to young children (they are designed mostly for toddlers) to enjoy. The pamphlet in this album is from the collection of Steve Friedrich and may not be used without prior written permission.         Thumbnails      1 2 Next Page > Slideshow 1KLV Toybook Front Cover.jpg 2klv01.jpg 3klv02.jpg 4klv03.jpg 5klv04.jpg 6klv05.jpg 7klv06.jpg 8klv07.jpg 9klv08.jpg 10klv09.jpg 11klv10.jpg 12klv11.jpg 13klv12.jpg 14klv13.jpg 15klv14.jpg 16klv15.jpg 17klv16.jpg 18klv17.jpg 19klv18.jpg 20klv19.jpg 21klv20.jpg 22klv21.jpg 23klv22.jpg 24klv23.jpg 25klv24.jpg 26klv25.jpg 27klv26.jpg 28klv27.jpg 29klv28.jpg 30klv29.jpg 31klv30.jpg 32klv31.jpg 33klv32.jpg 34klv33.jpg 35klv34.jpg 36klv35.jpg 1 2 Next Page >
