  1. Toys are made in the homes still such as yoyos and a catapult. A catapult is made when a (gallog) is got and two pieces of rubber and a piece of leather and a piece of cord. the rubber is tied on to the prong of the (gallog) and then the leather and rubber are tied together.
    A yoyo is made by getting two sides of reels and a piece of stick. the stick is put through the holes in the reels and a piece of cord is tied on to it, and then it is pulled up and down.
