Long before “danger” was once a book for boys, there was once The American Boy’s Handy Book by Daniel Beard—a beloved classic by one of the crucial original founders of the Boy Scouts of The us. The American Boy’s Handy Book was once designed to provide hundreds of activities for restless young boys—adventures and games, indoors and out, in each and every season of the year. It was once in the beginning published in 1882 and became an instant bestseller.

Now, this much-loved classic is back in print for a new generation to enjoy. In case you are not too young to fly a kite, or too old to enjoy a day of good fishing, The American Boy’s Handy Book is chock full of games and activities just for you! There is something for boys of all ages and for each day of the year in this book:

  • Building and flying your own kite
  • Making an aquarium
  • Rigging and sailing small boats
  • Camping without a tent
  • Making a corn stalk fiddle
  • Building a snow fort

Daniel Beard, a founding member of the Boy Scouts of The us, firmly believed in letting boys make their own playthings with their hands, to encourage them to value their own work and gain skills needed to invent, construct and dream successfully. This is truer today than ever before—in a world of video games and cell phones. Welcome the joys of childhood back into your children’s lives with The American Boy’s Handy Book, and help them discover hobbies, games and activities that allows you to stimulate their imagination and create a sense of adventure in the real world around us.
