Press-out Paper Village

Description

An entire mini village complete with a school, post office, tea room cottages and the villagers. Children construct each element themselves from simple, cardboard pieces that press out from the pages of the book. Each building is based on a simple cube design, but the details of each shop and house bring the village to life. Illustrations: Full colour throughout
