1. Homemade Toys in Olden Days

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Now-a-days we can buy our toys in the shop, but long ago the people themselves had to make them.
   They gathered the daisies in the field and made lovely daisy chains to wear round their necks.
   They also made chains out of the berries of the rowan trees.
   The boys made little guns out of elder trees, or what they called "boor-trees", and they got tow from the flax and shot this out of the guns.
   The made these by cutting the "boor-tree" about nine or twelve inches long and then reddening the poker and sticking it through the gun to make a hole right through it.
   They gave the stick a push and the tow went right through the gun with a shot.
   They made little "dancers" out of a reel cut in two.
   They got a piece of stick and put it in the hole keeping the reel in the middle and the two ends of the stick
