- The way we make a skate is, we get a board and we put wheels on it. Then we go on it and shove it along with a stick. The way we make a kite is we plaster paper on a light bit of a stick and we tie it on to a spool of thread and it will go up out of sight in the air. We make snares for catching rabbits out of thin wire. First we put a curve on the top of the wire. ThThen we put the other end into the curve and we set it at a rabbits burrow. Then when the rabbit runs out the wire will tighten around him and hold him.
