  1. Homemade Toys

    Share Share Post
    Boys and girls long ago made toys for themselves and some make them yet. Girls make daisy chains out of daisies. Boys used to make tops and kites [?] out of wood also spinning wheels, from a old spool. Girls make toys out of wood and cloth. Snares were made for catching rabbits with a piece of wire and a stick.
