Blizzard's Wonderful Wooden Toys, by Richard Blizzard (Hardback, 1983)

Adapted from Blizzard's television series, the book offers plans and cutting lists for over 40 projects organised into six categories. Begin with sand pit essentials—covers, hoppers, cranes, skips, ploughs, and dumper trucks—then venture into outdoor play with rope ladders, stilts, see-saws, and wheelbarrows. Progress to ambitious large-scale builds: rocking dogs and llamas, go-karts, and ride-in mobile cranes that captivate young imaginations. Create pretend-play environments with playhouses, tables, benches, cookers, and cradles, then populate detailed miniature worlds featuring garages, farm buildings, Dutch barns, pigsties, space stations, doll's houses, and fortifications. Conclude with scale-model vehicles including a 1902 Scania truck and Hyster fork lift.
