- A Pop GunThe old people have made and kept these old toys and they never had been sold in shops.
How to make a pop gun:-
Get a bit of an elder stick. Take all the soft stuff out of it then get another bit and it is called the ram rod and put a cork at the end of it. After that get a piece of paper and chew it.
Then blow wind into it and put the paper in after that push in your ram rod.A SlingTo make a sling you must get a bit of leather and two bits of cord and then tie each bit of cord to the leather. Then put a stone in the leather and twist the cord around your hand and let one of cord out.
