  1. Playing Toys

    Share Share Post
    When playing toys you make three holes. Then you stand about a yard from the first one and pink. If you put a marble in the hole you may fling it to the next hole. When you are throwing get the toy in between the thumb and the first finger and shove it out with your thumb. If you do not put it in the hole the next person may throw. Each one has to get the holes three times. The person that gets the third hole first is game.
