  1. Homemade Toys

    Share Share Post
    I often make toys out of wood. I made a toy cart out of wood and made wheels out of a turnip and put a toy horse drawing it. I often make a kite out of two pieces of wood, one fourteen inches and the other twelve inches long. I joined the two peices together with glue and fastened brown paper on to it. It had a tail five feet long.
