  1. A jack in the box - get sliver and roll it round a pencil and close in one side of it, and put a ball bearing of a bicycle in it and close in the other side and put it in a match box and shake it and it is made.
    A tractor - get a thread spool and make nicks round the edge of the spool and make a slit on the spool for a half match in the slit then cut a strip of a tube of a bicycle wheel and put it through the spool, put a match and a piece of a candle on the rubber and then wind it with the long match and it will move away slowly like a tractor.
