    Home-made Toys
    Girls made daisy chains with strings of daisys. Boys made spinning tops out of spools. They also played jack-stones by getting a number of stones and throwing them up in the air, and who-ever would get the most stones on the back of their hand, would win the game. The boys made guns with elder branches.
