Home Handicrafter shows a woodwork project using clothespins to build a pioneer village. Instructions cover constructing a stockade, blockhouse, bridge, and roof with cardboard and tape, plus tips to simulate a stream. Includes step by step assembly and materials for a family craft project.
A playful instruction piece describes a shaky game where players stack wooden toothpicks across a bottle mouth, using empty catsup or soda bottles as the base. Each turn adds a layer while avoiding collapse, with the aim to pile as many toothpicks as possible without toppling the tower.
A quirky puzzle page lists conundrums and wordplay tasks across numbers one to thirteen. It features jokes about coins, phrases, arithmetic, reverse ages, and a cryptic baseball team line framed in a vintage quiz tone.
A puzzle describes three hats on a table with the center inverted. In three moves, pick up two hats in each turn and flip them, aiming to end with all three hats upside down. The accompanying garbled text seems to be misread OCR.
The piece praises a famous man who educated himself by patient study. It mixes an instructional tone on drawing and map-like sequences of coordinates, then shifts to describing a thumb exercise to illustrate muscle contraction and awkward movement. It ends with encouragement to attempt similar outline sketches of other presidents.
A child learns to use simple tools under supervision by building two wren houses from a tire pattern. Junior uses a coping saw to cut ends, a brace and bit to bore a hole, and a hammer to assemble parts. The project includes adjusting the base and tires for fit.
Hearch is presented as a widely recognized architectural form with variations. A Moorish variation is hinted at by drawing a continuous line that crosses all but one line twice, starting and ending at the un-crossed line. The solution appears elsewhere on the page.
Simple barometer project uses a pop bottle water and a cork with a straw to track air pressure. Invert the bottle and mark water level changes with a string, color the diagram by indicated weather colors, and seal joints with paraffin or cement for a sturdy wall mount.
A scanned puzzle page lists numbered Bible related clues and answers in both across and down directions. The items reference places, persons, books, and terms from Scripture, with hints about chapters and verses, along with stray crossword style entries and abbreviations.
Quarters held by Lonzo and Alphonse total less than five dollars. They plan to split the sum into three equal shares for themselves and Arthur. Scenarios show balance changes: if Alphonse gives one quarter to Lonzo both have same, if Lonzo gives one quarter to Alphonse then Alphonse has twice Lonzo, and if Alphonse then gives half his quarters to Arthur all three have equal amounts. Determine each boys final amount.
