    The toys that we make at home are gollywogs and daisy necklaces.
    The way you make a daisy necklace is you make a hole in the stalk of one daisy and pull the stalk of another daisy through the hole and so on.
    When you are making a golliwog you wrap wool around a matchbox a few times then take it off and cut the bottom and the top of the wool then tie it in the middle : you make it with coloured thread
