Playhouse
Playtime Playhouse a "press out and set up" book which was published in 1968 by Western Publishing Company, and is really amazing. Don't take my word for it though, you can see all the pages here. It is the kind of book I might scan, print out and assemble, but I could never really punch out the pages from the book!

Cowboys And Indians
Cowboys And Indians
A Child Life Playbook
Published by Garden City Books no publishing date
The cover says: Complete Indian Village to cut out, games, giant teepee 3 feet tall, cowboys, and puzzles
I really love old activity books, and while this one has some items cut out (like the dot to dot horse) they all seem to be tucked into the book. Plus the funny thing is they didn't cut out any of the items that are supposed to be cut out, those are all still intact.
The spine of the book says #9 Wish I could find the entire collection!
This one cost me .95 at the used bookshop. The best part is they were having a B1G1Free sale on kid's books so not only did I get this one for .95 but another .95 book for free!

Paper!
Dennison Paper Arts & Crafts (magazine/pamphlet)
1963 Dennison
I really love this magazine-booklet. The cover is so so good and then inside it has some great illustrations, as well as ideas for bulletin boards, costumes from paper, puppets, etc.
