How to Build a Lincoln Log Toy Cabin

Lincoln Logs consist of rods with notches in the ends that allow you to interlock the rods in a similar manner to a log cabin. Originally made of wood, the toy is now produced from more durable plastic. A complete kit of Lincoln Logs can be configured a number of ways to produce a small log cabin with a corral on the side. Kits can also be combined to produce larger, more elaborate construction.
