Jim Linderman collects American vernacular art. This Vintage Folk Art Handmade Fabric Activity Book made for a young child c. 1960 is part of his collection. Each page has a learning tool: working buttons, shoelace and zipper for dexterity, different fabrics for a tactile experience etc.
It reminds me of Dorothy Kunhardt's Pat The Bunny , a tactile book for small children that my sons had when they were toddlers.
I was led to Linderman's wonderful blog by Tacky Raccoons. I could get lost here for days.
