Das wünsch’ ich mir 1961 – DDR Children's Gift Craft Book, Margot Schölzel

Das wünsch’ ich mir – Margot Schölzel

A cheerful East German craft book from 1961 that shows children how to make wished-for gifts and toys from everyday things: matchboxes, rusk packets, paper, card and wool. Projects include a toy locomotive from Zwieback boxes, a gingerbread house, pencil flowers, a little bathrobe for a doll and a charming matchbox Advent calendar. Richly illustrated in colour, it is a sweet piece of DDR childhood and a lovely gift for craft lovers.
