Vintage craft book kids

Vintage craft book children

Vintage craft book kids are a strange lot. I don’t think photographers got as many chances at getting that “perfect” shot of children at play as modern photographers do. So here they are; enjoying their new beanie, wearing smocks, or anything else that vintage craft book children do.

And they do so many, many things:

Vintage craft book children
They look surly for portraits
Vintage craft book children
They look awkward in hats
Vintage craft book children
They torment puppies (on the left)
Vintage craft book children
They wonder if anyone has noticed that the boat is too big for that water container
Vintage craft book children
They can’t look properly at the camera
Vintage craft book children
Ever
Vintage craft book children
They wear crazy head gear
Vintage craft book children
They wear painted bags
Vintage craft book children
They wonder why the hell anyone would think these games were interesting
Vintage craft book children
…but they’re pretty polite about it
Vintage craft book children
They are forced to put their hands in bran, when it is clearly gross
Vintage craft book children
And they hang out with some big crustaceans!

And, remember the girl who hated her dinosaur? She’s not a fan of the puppets but some crafty photographer figured a way to censor her…

Vintage craft book children
Someone’s caged her birds today

  1. Hilarious! I’m a lover of vintage books and this is the reason why! Although, I will admit: I like those painted bags!! 🙂

  2. Oh this made me laugh so much! I have some choice vintage crochet patterns which would fit well in this collection, including “they eat oversized, odd-shaped lollypops” and “they are of ambiguous gender”
