    Home-made Toys
    Many boys know how to make (toys) kites. The way to make them is to get two sally rods one of them 16 inches long and the other 14 inches long. Tie them together and make a cross. Then get brown paper glew it to the sticks. Then make a tail four feet long of cord and pieces of paper. Tie a loop of cord across the rods.
    You would need 200 yards of cord when it is flying. Boys make them for sport.
