    Home made toys are popular in country places, where parents made them for their children. The Christmas lantern is one. It consists of tin, cardboard and transparent paper. When the Christmas (lantern) candle is lighted inside it looks nice.
    Another toy is Brian O'Lynn's Watch. Brian when a child wanted to have a watch. He got a turnip and cut it out square.
