    My favourite pastime is making dolls out of hay.First i make a ball for the head and body.Then I get clothes and cover it.Then I make the legs and hands.
    I make purses of paper.First I double the paper.Then I fold the two corners.Then I pull the top piece of the paper which is the cover.
    I make fans of paper also .I cut a round piece of paper.Then I crease it and I cut it at the bottom.
    I make baskets of grass.I make it round and I put a hole in the middle.
