Early settlers made the things they needed for everyday life. They wove reeds and grasses into baskets, pieced together scraps of fabric for quilts, and made candles and lanterns to light their way. Pioneers also made toys -- balancing acrobats, whimmy diddles and rag dolls, to name a few. With this book in the Kids Can Do It series, kids today can dye fabric, weave gift baskets or turn a piece of felt into a pair of cozy moccasins, and make crafts the pioneer way.
