    Home made toys
    Most boys and girls find amusement in making toys in their spare time. Boys shape spools into spinning tops. They make slings with a piece of stick and cord, these they use to shoot wild birds with stone.
    They also shoot at wild birds with home made guns. They put a long stick with a hole in the top of it. In this the put the spring of an old umbrella and it makes a toy gun.
