1959 German toy ~ Rock or Roll
Versatile German Toy Can Rock or Roll
Here's one kind of toy that should keep a toddler from becoming bored. When he's tired of using the piece of kindergarten equipment as a make-believe car, he can turn it upside-down and use it as a rocking chair. With some additional parts, it becomes a seesaw or a push toy. The idea was developed by a refugee from East Germany.

1957 Paper Dolls ~ Betsey McCall and her cousin Linda
I remember paper dolls.
One of my girls actually played with them for a bit.
Even when I was young in the late '60s, I had a shoe box full of paper dolls and their clothes. I know computers and designing programs have taken over these treasures.....but I still believe the hands-on is more fun. It helps with fine motor skills as they have to cut the tabs and clothes just right. It was always fun to get the mix & match sets where you could put outfits together the way you liked them.
These were a favorite for a generation. Betsey McCall. I've seen small boxes of these at estate sales over the years and it always brings back good memories for me.
Feel free to share these with a young girl and see if you can spark the imagination in a new generation. I really like the weiner dog.

1949 Girls Jacket Crochet Pattern
I am trying to get as many of these vintage patterns online so a new generation can enjoy making them.
It would make me SO HAPPY to see some of these patterns actually made, so please post pictures of these projects actually completed! And if you sell your handmade creations online, feel free to post a link to your shop with your picture.
I am publishing these free of charge, but would be grateful for any amount donation to help offset the time it takes to get them scanned and published. Even donations as small as 50 cents can help. I still work full time and have kids in school, so this is a labor of love. Keeping the art of needlework alive and these vintage patterns working to create heirlooms.
Thank you and look forward to seeing some pictures!
