- Every child finds great amusement in making toys.
All children when very small try to make dolls.
These dolls are made by straw, old rags, and, pieces of paper.
Another toy which boys find great fun in and which they make themselves is a catter - pull.
This is made by getting a bit of rubber putting a hole at each end, and putting a string into each hole and join it on to a stick.
With this they fire stones, or little pieces of wood. - Collector
