Mein Bastelfreund 1958 – DDR Nature Craft & Toy Making Book, Leipzig

Mein Bastelfreund – Anleitungen für Spielzeugbasteleien aus Wald und Flur

A beautiful 1950s East German craft book by H. Schmidt that teaches children to make toys from what they find in the woods and fields: pine cones, acorns, chestnuts, rose hips, feathers, straw, twigs and wood. Every page is illustrated in soft colours – little birds, animals, straw dolls and seasonal projects. A charming book for nature craft, Waldorf-style play and lovers of mid-century illustration.
