Unleash a stable of horse and pony paper toys, props, and playsets from just one book. Let your imagination go wild!

Merrill Rainey's COLOR, CUT, CREATE PLAY SETS: HORSE RANCH is three activity books in one: color your horse, cut out and construct it into your paper toy, and create imaginative stories, dioramas, and more! All you need is scissors, markers, and glue. No fussy instructions or delicate designs that crumble at the slightest touch. These are paper toy clydsdales, American Paints, mustangs, stables, wagons, jumps, and more that kids are actually meant to play with. It's paper engineering made easy!

With over 75 paper toys, props, and playsets included, kids will happily color, build, and play for hours!

Growing up, Merrill Rainey spent most of his Saturday afternoons watching monster movies, drawing superheroes, and going on imaginary adventures with his siblings. Today, he is a cowboy-boot-wearing, award-winning illustrator, designer, and paper engineer. Merrill likes to experiment with art tools and uses marker, cut paper, or water soluble graphite to create his illustrations. Merrill lives in the historic town of Maumee, Ohio, with his editor (his wife), subject matter experts (his kids), and very opinionated coworkers (two pups, two goldfish, and some crabby hermit crabs).
