- Bow and Arrow
The "Bow and arrow" are made by getting a rod and making a semicircle of it by trying a string to each end of the rod. Then there is another rod got and when the string is tightened the latter rod shoots away.Bird Cradle
The Bird Cradle is made out of garden rods. First there is a square frame made (The rods are then built on the frame) Then there is wire tied on one of the corners and also tied on the opposite corner. The rods are then built on the frame.
