From tugboats and tractors to windmills and wagons, these nostalgic moving toys make great Christmas ornaments as well as keepsake gifts for family and friends. And these simple projects don't take a lot of time, wood or tools to make.
They're a great way to reuse and repurpose scrap wood, and require only minimal painting. All you need is a scroll saw, a drill and some glue to create memorable family heirlooms.
You can create them assembly-line style and fill a tree—or make a lot of gifts—with just an afternoon's work. Better yet, get a youngster or two involved in the cutting, painting and assembling.

"These are fairly uncomplicated plans - any woodworker worth his sawdust should be able to make one in an evening. Even if you're new to the craft these plans are about as basic as you can get. And, because they're so small - most are about 3" long - it's a great way to use up some of those left over pieces of wood you've been stashing away."--Canadian Woodworking and Home Improvement
