  1. Homemade Toys - A Homemade Doll

    Share Share Post
    This is the way we make home-made dolls.
    A doll is made by getting a cloth and putting in the middle some hay and get four thin sticks and stick them in the hay two for the legs and the other two for the hands. You must get a cord and squeeze it very thightly round the hay and sticks to secure the head.
    The doll is made then.
