    big hole and six small ones in them. There is a very small toy which is made from a spool, a match, a small piece of candle and a piece of elastic. It is made by putting the elastic through the spool and then through the piece of candle. Then the match is twisted. The whole lot is put on a slanting piece of board. It will crawl up slowly along the board.
