- The first toy I ever made was a daisy necklace. It is easy to make them. First by gathering a lot of big daisies. Then get a needles and thread. Sew the daisies together with the needle and thread and then the daisy necklace is made.
A Doll
I made a doll by getting a piece of cloth, cutting out the body, legs, arms and the head. I sewed them up then, and stuffed them up with rags. Then I sewed in the legs and arms and the head and coloured the eyes with a black pencil and the mouth with a red pencil.
