    “A Cradle bird. A spinning top. ...”

    Share Share Post
    A cradle bird. A spinning top. A boat. A hoop. A sling and a kite.
    A cradle bird is made of sticks and cords. The sticks are placed over one another and brought to a point at the top. A top is made out of timber and then a whip for keeping it going round. A sling is made out of a piece of leather and cords. A kite is made of a cross like shape and strong paper pasted over it. Then there is a cord tied to it and it flies away. A catapult is made of a forked stick and rubber tied to it.
