    Share Share Post
    Boys make a toy for flinging stones called a sling. A piece of leather is got and two pieces of cords, the cords are tied to the leather. A stone is put into the leather, then one of the cords is let out and the stone is flung away
    Snares are made for catching birds. It is made from a piece of a stick and hair, wire is also used. The wire is plaited and a loop put on the end of it, then it is put in on the stick and left where the birds are seen.
