All hail the industrious woodworking youngsters of the 19th century This enchanting and practical guide, originally published in 1874, offers these adept lads what its author calls, in the book's subtitle, "Practical Directions for Making Numerous Articles for Use and Ornament, Mechanical Toys, Models, &c; With Descriptions of Various Tools, and the Method of Using Them." Learn how to build a small summer-house; model bridges, tables, bookshelves, gates, desks, dog kennels, and chests, along with specific woodworking skills like veneering and lengthening timber. The book aims to enlighten and entertain even as it strives to instill virtue and industry in its young readers. It's a very handsome volume, with nearly 200 illustrations, a pleasing typeface and a charming authorial tone. The projects are a pretty varied lot, ranging from the simple to the very ambitious. While there is some basic instruction on how to do things, the author expects some familiarity with tools. It is however a great font of ideas and a starting point for lots of projects that you might not ordinarily attempt. We found the book a lot of fun. Incidentally the cover, which is a faithful restoration of the original is one of the cooler woodworking book covers ever. As a bonus, the detailed booklist from Cassell, Petter & Galpin, the original publishers, provides a fascinating window into the era's recommended books for wholesome and hardworking families. Softcover, 227 pages.

Must have @ Puppy Yoga Club
I purchased the Aipper Dog Toys 25 Pack for use with puppies at my job, and it’s been a really practical and affordable option for a high-energy, group setting. The variety in the pack is the biggest benefit. With a mix of squeaky toys, ropes, balls, and plush toys, it’s easy to rotate items throughout the day and keep multiple puppies engaged at once. The squeaky toys grab attention quickly, while the rope toys are great for interactive play and light tug games. For a work environment with frequent use, the value is excellent. Having so many toys in one set makes it easy to replace or swap out toys as they get worn down, which is helpful when working with multiple puppies at the same time. Durability is average for the price—some of the softer plush toys don’t hold up to rough play for long—but the rope toys tend to last better. Overall, they work best in supervised settings rather than for heavy chewers. Overall, this set is a great, budget-friendly solution for keeping puppies entertained and engaged in a group setting.

Great variety for the price
Great set of toys. As described, they are for smaller dogs but I got them for our puppy and they are a great size for her. She will definitely outgrow them if she doesn’t destroy them first. She sure likes them for now!

Tiny Toys for Puppies. Not for large dogs.
These are cute little toys, definitely puppy size toys. I don’t expect them to last long as they don’t seem durable for vigorous chewers, but they will be a good distraction for the puppy. He loves the squeaker. I’m only giving 3 stars because I’m very itchy after opening the toys, I seem to be having a reaction to the material. I have never been diagnosed with any sort of allergies.

TOO CUTE
THESE WERE THE CUTEST PACK OF TOYS MY PUPPY ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEM. A big variety of different chew toys, different textures. The rubber toys have better to resistance than I originally thought they would. My dog is a small puppy so I don’t know how much damage he could have really done anyway, but we have had them now for several weeks.
