No screens, no hi-tech gadgetry. <a href=\"http:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?cn=1003642\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>Made by Dad<\/strong><\/em><\/a> combines the rough-edged, handmade ethos of a Boy Scout manual or The Dangerous Book for Boys with a sly sense of humor that kids love. Scott Bedford, a creative director by day and Webby Award winning blogger by nights and weekends, wields an X-ACTO knife, magic marker, and prodigious imagination to create endlessly delightful projects for his two sons. He knows that kids like contraptions and gadgets, things that are surprising &#8211; chair that appears to be balanced on eggshells. Things that are complex &#8211; multilevel city, with buildings, tunnels, and roads, built from old boxes around the legs of a table. And especially things with humor &#8211; the Snappy Toast Rack, made to resemble a crocodile\u2019s gaping mouth. The projects are shown in full-color photographs, and the instructions are illustrated in detailed line drawings that exude personality. Some are quick and simple enough to be done in a coffee shop; others are more of an afternoon project &#8211; yielding hours and hours of rich, imaginative playtime. <em>(description from publisher)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Snail Soup Can Decoy to keep the candy stash safe.
