    The young girls make necklaces out of flowers in the Summer. Boys still make cribs for catching birds and they also make catapults. The boys do not play marbles or tops nowadays.

    Share Share Post
    The young girls used makes hats out of rushes.
    My parents never heard of people making dolls or cutting patterns out of paper.
    The boys make pop-guns out of a piece of elder stick and a piece of a spring of a clock.
    Boys still make slings out of a bit of leather and two bits of sting.
    They also make catapults from a piece of an elder stick and a tube of a bicycle.
