- (continued from previous page)A cord is then put in both holes and tied at one end and then the buzz is completed.
- Other girls make belts out of cigarette papers. They fold the papers and put one paper into the other and so on.
- Some boys make spinning tops out of thread spools. Others make yo-yos out of two thread spools. They cut the heads off them and join them together with a small nail and then put a long chord on it
