  1. The Toys Made Locally

    Share Share Post
    I often made daisie chains from daisies. I would put the flowers all together, and make a chain. I would hang it round my neck then. I also made hens from raw potatoes. First I would get a small potatoe for the head, then a bigger one for the body. I would join the two with wire then, I would get soft feathers, and cover the the body. I would put thorns into it for feet. I would put it standing up, and I would play with it. These are all the toys I ever made.
