  1. Homemade Toys

    Share Share Post
    The boys and girls around this district make many toys. The girls do not make many toys. Each boy has his own favourite toy to make. Some boys make snares. These snares are used for catching rabbits. Snares are made quite easily with a piece of strong stick and a strong piece of wire.
    Another toy trap is a cradle-bird which is used for trapping birds. It is made from sally rods and is shaped like a cage.
    The most dangeous of all is the catapult which is also made of a strong piece of stick and a piece of long rubber.
