- 1. We make spining tops out of empty spool of thread. We get a spool and cut the natches off it. We make one side smaller than the other by pairing it. We then drive a nail through it so that the point comes out.
2. We get a rod out of the sycamore tree and we would pair the two ends. Then we would cut a natch in it and hole it through the middle and we make whistlers out of them.
3. We make bugles out of a stalk of oats. We cut the stalk above the knot and below another one and we cut off a natch in the top of with a knife.
