  1. Homemade Toys

    Share Share Post
    The most common home made toys are rag dolls and dolls cots. They were made out of small pieces of wool. Dolls furniture such as chairs, tables and couches are made out of spools with cardboard on top of them and they are covered with material.
    Other toys, such as carts, are made from small pieces of wood or from large turnips with the centre cut out.
    Imaginary loaves of bread are made out of turnips and piled upon carts made of turnips and they are called bread carts.
